Answer to this is O-atom.
Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.
where is the Lewis Acid and
is the Lewis Base and
is the Covalent Bond.
Reaction of dissociation of in
is given as:
In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from forming a Lewis Base.
Answer : The structure of will be square-planar.
Explanation :
In the given molecule , 'Xe' is the central atom and 'H' is the terminal atom.
Xenon has 8 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons are 8 + 4(1) = 12 electrons.
The number of electrons used in Xe-H bonding = 8 electrons
The remaining electrons which are used as lone pair on central atom (Xe) = 12 - 8 = 4 electrons
There are 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons, they will be arranged in the octahedral arrangement around the central atom with 2 lone pairs of electrons on central atom. The lone pairs are arranged linearly across the central atom. The resulting structure will be square-planar.
The structure of is shown below.
