Answer:

Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.

Explanation:

What is said in the statement corresponds to a Lewis base, not an acid. For example, NH3 is a Lewis base, since it is capable of donating its pair of electrons. Trimethylborane (Me3B) is a Lewis acid, since it is capable of accepting a solitary pair.

Answer : The incorrect statement is, Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.

Explanation :

According to the Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion $(H_3O^+)$ or hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion $(OH^-)$ .

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

According to the Lewis acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that accepts pairs of electrons and the a base is a substance that donates pairs of electrons.

The pH of an acid is always less than 7.

Hence, the incorrect statement is, Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.

Consider these elements: N, Mg, O, F, Al. a. Write the electron configuration for each element. b. Arrange the elements in order

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

N- 1s2 2s2 2p3

Mg- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

O- 1s2 2s2 2p4

F- 1s2 2s2 2p5

Al-1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

Explanation:

Order of decreasing atomic radius

Mg,Al, N,O,F

Order of increasing ionization energy

Mg,Al, N,O,F

Reason:

Atomic radius decreases with increase in nonmetallic character. Looking at the electronic configurations, as effective nuclear charge increases, the atom becomes smaller and the attractive force between the nucleus and the outermost electrons increases. Hence, the radius of the atom decreases and ionization energy increases. Note that the addition of more orbital electrons implies addition of more nuclear charge since the both must exactly balance for the atom to remain electrically neutral. The more the electrons in the outermost shell, the higher the first ionization energy.

How can scientists detect blood doping?

aev [14]

Answer:

There are typically three ways that it is accomplished: use of erythropoietin (EPO) or synthetic oxygen carriers and blood transfusions. While transfusions of large volumes of blood or use of EPO can be detected, microdosing EPO or transfusing smaller volumes of packed red blood cells is much harder to detect.
