Describe an acid or base in terms of its relationship to protons

Chemistry
1 answer:
motikmotik3 years ago
4 0
Acids are donors of protons (H+) and bases are acceptors of protons.
For example:
1) hydrochloric acid (HCl) in reaction with water give one proton to water and become chloride anion (Cl-).
2) ammonia (NH3) Is base, in reaction with water accepts one protone and become ammonium cation (NH4+).

What is meant by term valency? Explain it in terms of electrons donations and acceptance.​
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Valency can be defined as a measure of the combining power of a chemical element with other atoms to form a molecule or chemical compound.

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such determines or defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Valency can be defined as a measure of the combining power of a chemical element with other atoms to form a molecule or chemical compound.

Typically, valency is measured by the amount of hydrogen atoms that a chemical element can combine with or displace to form a molecule or chemical compound.

For example, Oxygen has a total number of eight (8) electrons while neon has total number of ten (10) electrons. Therefore, an atom of oxygen is able to gain (accept or receive) two (2) more electrons in order to have the same electron arrangements as the noble gas i.e an atom of neon with an atomic number of 10.
