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

Answer:
<h2>The answer is 35 mL</h2>Explanation:
Density of a substance can be found by using the formula
From the question we are finding the amount of space the gas will occupy that's the volume of the gas
Making volume the subject we have
From the question
mass = 23.8 g/mL
Density = 0.68 g/mL
Substitute the values into the above formula and solve
That's
We have the final answer as
<h3>35 mL</h3>Hope this helps you
