Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted and Lowry, acids are the species which dissociate in water to give hydrogen ions.

Whereas bases are the species which dissociate into water to give hydroxide ions.

Also, like dissolves like. So, when an acid is polar in nature and dissolved in water then it will completely dissociate into ions.

As a result, it will tend to donate hydrogen ions into the solution.

For example, HCl \rightarrow H^{+} + Cl^{-}

Thus, we can conclude that an acid is a polar substance that dissolves in water and donates hydrogen ions to the solution.

Answer: d. donates hydrogen ions to the solution

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions (OH^-) when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions (H^+) in water.

HX\rightarrow H^++X^-

BOH\rightarrow B^++OH^-

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

Thus an acid is a polar substance that dissolves in water and donates hydrogen ions to the solution.

A black hole can be considered a star that has
lubasha [3.4K]
The first option, collapsed in on itself. The star's core mass becomes so dense that the resulting gravity implodes the star. Interesting enough, the third option is kindof true too...some large and tenacious black holes that absorb other stars will form incredibly bright accretion disks around their perimeter before filling absorbing the star.

Do ionic compounds or covalent compounds conduct electricity
Liula [17]

None because Covalent compounds don’t conduct electricity because they are formed between the non metal atoms by sharing of electrons. The Covalent compounds haves no free electrons and also no ions and hence they do not conduct electricity. That is why they do not conduct electricity.
