Answer:

The correct answer is "covalent bonds".

Explanation:

A covalent coordinated or dative bond is formed when two atoms are linked together, sharing a pair of electrons. But only one of these atoms is the one that brings the pair of shared electrons. For this type of bond to occur, it is required that the donor atom has a pair of free electrons in an outer orbital and the acceptor atom has the capacity to receive that pair of electrons in its last valence layer.

On the other hand, a Lewis base is a substance that can share or donate a pair of electrons, because they have a pair of solitary electrons. A Lewis acid is that substance that accepts or takes a pair of electrons because they have their last electron layer incomplete.

It is then possible to say that an Lewis acid-base reaction is formed by the Lewis acid and base joined by a coordinated covalent bond.

So, <u><em>the correct answer is "covalent bonds".</em></u>

The correct option is COVALENT BONDS.

A Lewis acid is defined as a substance which accept a pair of electron while a Lewis base refers to a substance that donate an unshared pair of electrons to another chemical specie with which it shared the donated pair of electrons.

Lewis acid and Lewis base react together to form salt and water. This type of reaction is called neutralization reaction. The neutralization reaction of Lewis acid and Lewis base involves electron pairs transfer, thus, there is an increase in the number of covalent bonds during this reaction.

Convert 4.00 atm to mmHg

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

3040 mmHg

Explanation:

Here

we have to convert 4.00 atm to mmHg

As we know that

The number of atm in 1 mmHg is 0.0013157895567935

Now there is 4.00 atm So, in mmHg it would be

And, according to this, the working is given below:

= 4 ÷ 0.0013157895567935

= 3,039.99

= 3040 mmHg

Hence, the last option is correct

And, the same is relevant and considered too

Explain what occurs in a substitution reaction and give an example of substitution reaction. Explain why organic reactions are t

uranmaximum [27]

Substitution Reactions are those reactions in which one nucleophile replaces another nucleophile present on a substrate. These reactions can take place via two different mechanism i.e SN¹ or SN². In SN¹ substitution reactions the leaving group leaves first forming a carbocation and nucleophile attacks carbocation in the second step. While in SN² reactions the addition of Nucleophile and leaving of leaving group take place simultaneously.

Example:
OH⁻ + CH₃-Br → CH₃-OH + Br⁻

In above reaction,

OH⁻ = Incoming Nucleophile

CH₃-Br = Substrate

CH₃-OH = Product

Br⁻ = Leaving group

Organic reactions are typically slower than ionic reactions because in organic compounds the covalent bonds are first broken, this breaking of bonds is a slower step, while, in ionic compounds no bond breakage is required as it consists of ions, so only bond formation takes place which is a quicker and fast step.
