Answer:

Lewis acids describe this compound’s behavior

Explanation:

According to Lewis's theory, a base is a substance that has an unshared pair of electrons, with which it can form a covalent bond with an atom, a molecule or an ion. An acid is a substance that can form a covalent bond by accepting a pair of electrons from the base. So, a Lewis acid-base reaction is represented by the transfer of a pair of electrons from a base to an acid, forming a covalent bond.

The reaction is:

A + :B ↔ A-B

Chemical species that function as Lewis acids include:

Molecules or atoms that have incomplete octets, several simple cations, some metal atoms and compounds that have central atoms capable of extending their valence levels.

Which part of the periodic would contain an element with a partially filled f sublevel

noname [10]

Answer: Lanthanide and actinide series

Explanation: The elements with partially or fully filled f orbitals belong to f block elements.

f block elements include lanthanides and actinides. They are called so the lanthanides contain the first element named as lanthanum and actinides contain first element named as actinium. They are also called as inner transition elements.

All of them have general electronic configuration:

$(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-10}ns^2$ , where n = 6-7

Which color of light is diffracted at a greater angle from a diffraction grating, red or yellow?

Anit [1.1K]

The color of light that will be diffracted at a greater angle from a diffracting grating is THE YELLOW COLOR.
This is because, the degree of diffraction depend on the wavelength of light and light color with shorter wavelength are diffracted at a larger angle than those with longer wavelengths. The wavelength of the yellow color is much more smaller than that of the red color.
