Answer is: because weak acids do not dissociate completely.
The strength of an Arrhenius
acid determines percentage of ionization of acid and the number of H⁺ ions formed. <span>
Strong acids completely ionize in water and give large amount ofhydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), so we use only one arrow, because reaction goes in one direction and there no molecules of acid in solution.
For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
<span>
Weak acid partially ionize in water
and give only a few hydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), in the solution there molecules of acid and ions.
For example cyanide acid: HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq)
+ CN⁻(aq).
There is no Bo element, however there is a B element which is Boron
1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 for the Mg2+ ion.
Both are oxidation reactions. Burning is just a lot faster than rusting.
<span>Electrons in a nitrogen-phosphorus covalent bond are not shared equally because nitrogen and phosphorus do not have the same electronegativity. The atoms spend more time around the most electronegative atom nitrogen.</span>
