Because they are closer to the farther end of the periodic table. Since they are closer to the farther end they don't want to give away their electrons because it would be easier for them to just steal them from other atoms.
According to valence bond theory sigma bonds is formed when two orbitals approach and overlap over each other while pie bonds is formed when two orbitals overlap side by side. in formation of HCl 1s orbital of hydrogen overlap on 3p orbitals of chlorine
An ambient pressure of 1 atm
Answer:
(C) Acetylene (ethyne) can be converted to the acetylide anion by treating with a strong base such as CH₃Li.
Explanation:
Acetylene (C₂H₂) can be converted to the acetylide anion (C₂⁻²) when treated with a base because it will donate protons (2H⁺). So it will be a neutralization reaction. NaNH₂ and NaOH are strong bases because they are good electrons donators ( NaNH₂ has pair of electrons on N, and NaOH has the group OH⁻), but CH₃Li has no pair of electrons to donate, so it's not a strong base.
