Can Hydrocyanic acid be a Lewis Acid? What about a Lewis Base?

Chemistry

FinnZ [79.3K]3 years ago
8 0

HCN is a Bronsted acid; it can dissociate into H+ and CN-. And H+ is a Lewis acid because it accepts election pairs. ... In order for H+ and CN- to be formed, Hydrogen in HCN donates its electrons to Carbon. So in this sense, Hydrogen is the lewis base and Carbon is the lewis acid.

What role does valence electrons play in reactivity for an element?
kirza4 [7]

Explanation:

The valence electrons within an atom is the number of electrons in its outermost shell.

These electrons are used by an atom to react with one another. They  determine the extent to which an atom is ready to combine either by losing, gaining or sharing these electrons.

  • Every atom desires to have a completely filled outermost shell.
  • Only the elements in group 8 have a complete octet.
  • The need to attain stability is driven by the number of electrons in their valence shell.
  • Therefore, some atoms are very reactive.
  • Those needing one electrons to complete their octet and also those that must lose one electron are very reactive.
