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

1 answer:

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+).

Why are the noble gases (group 18) inert?

dalvyx [7]

The noble gases are relatively unreactive because they have a stable octet of valence electrons.

Thus, they do not tend to undergo reactions in which they will gain or lose valence electrons,

However, only He, Ne, and Ar are inert. Kr and Xe combine with other highly reactive elements to form stable compounds.
