Can I+ (the iodine cation) becalled a Lewis base? Fullyexlplain your answer.

Chemistry

Alenkinab [10]3 years ago

Answer: No I+ cannot be called a Lewis base.

Explanation:

According to Lewis Theory, it defines an acid as an electron-pair acceptor and a base as an electron-pair donor.

In terms of Lewis basicity, Iodide ion (anions) has the more readily available lone pair electrons for donation since iodide ion is less electronegative .

With the help of the net electronic structure one can understand the answer of the question, because we need to study the I+  ion (cation) structure.

Lewis acid is therefore any substance, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. 

From the picture below I+ is most likely ready to accept electrons not to give from it 5s orbital to become stable.

If electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 2.0×1015s−1, what is the radiation’s energy?(1 point)
Alika [10]
  • Frequency=v=2×10^15Hz
  • Energy=E

Using planks quantum theory

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=hv

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 2\times 10^{15}s^{-1}

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=13.252\times 10^{-19}J

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=1.3\times 10^{-18}J

Calcium’s atomic number is 20. it forms ions with 18 electrons. what is the electrical charge of a calcium ion?
Gnom [1K]
It would be a positive charge because it lost two electrons, if the charge was neutral it would be the same amount of protons and electrons, if the charge was negative the electrons would be 20 instead of 18. So in this case it is positive.
