Answer:
HCO₂/H₂O is not the acid-base conjugate pair.
Explanation:
<em>Acid and conjugate base pairs differ by an H+ ion.</em>
Neither HCO₂ nor H₂O has lost or gained protons.
The conjugate acid of H₂O is H₃O⁺
The conjugate base of HCO₃⁻ is CO₃²⁻
[A conjugate acid has one more H⁺ than its base]
Answer:
To tell if something is an acid or a base, you can use a chemical called an indicator. An indicator changes color when it encounters an acid or base. There are many different types of indicators, some that are liquids and others that are concentrated on little strips of "litmus" paper.
Explanation:
Answer:
Via covalent bonds
Explanation:
Atoms in molecules are bonded together via covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are bonds that are formed by sharing of the valence electrons between two atoms.
The atoms can be of the same kind or of different kinds.
- In most molecules, the two atoms are connected by sharing of their valence electrons.
- This way, each atom can attain stability by becoming isoelectric with the nearest noble gas.
- Some molecules are monoatomic, some are polyatomic.
