Answer:
No
Explanation:
The pH scale is a scale graduated from 0-14 which shows the degree of acidity of alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale is graduated in such a way that 0-6.9 indicates acidity, 7.0 indicate a neutral substance, while a pH of 8-14 indicates alkalinity respectively.
There are three main definitions of acids/bases
- Arrhenius definition
-Brownstead-Lowry definition
-Lewis definition
Arrhenius explains acids as any substance that produces hydrogen ions as its only positive ion in solution while a base produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion in solution. The pH scale is based on corresponding values of pH derived from aqueous solutions of these substances.
However, not all acids/bases produces hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution. Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and Lewis definition of acids could be extended to nonaqueous media where the pH can not be measured as there are no hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.
This implies that pH measurement may not apply to acids/bases in the all the categories of acids/bases hence it can not be utilized for all acids and bases.
Arrhenius - sodium carbonate
Brownstead-Lowry - concentrated HF
Lewis acid - AlCl3
Answer: similar: Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, about 1.67 × 10-24 grams. Different:Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. And Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they're neutral).

Answer: This is the definition if that's what you want.
Explanation:The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.
Answer:
Explanation:
Electrovalent is a word often associated with chemical bonding in the field of chemistry. It is special type of bond that occurs between metals and non-metals.
These bond types are interatomic interactions occurring between two atoms to ensure that they attain stable configurations.
- This bond type is also known as ionic bonds.
- It occurs between two species with a large electronegative diffference i.e one specie is electropositive and the other highly electronegative.
- The more electropositive specie is metal and it readily loses its valence electrons.
- The electronegative non-metal gains the electrons and becomes negatively charged.
- The electrostatic attraction between the metal and non-metals yields the electrovalent bonds.
