Chemistry
1 answer:
Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a polar molecule whose positive center is on the carbon atom: This positive center is able to attract (and accept) the lone electron pairs present on the oxide ion (O2-). carbon dioxide is acts as a Lewis acid

A Lewis acid can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base. The boron in BF3 is electron poor and has an empty orbital, so it can accept a pair of electrons, making it a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is defined as an electron-pair acceptor.

In CO molecule, there is a lone pair on both carbon and oxygen. The substance which can donate an electron pair are called Lewis base. It is clear that CO molecule can donate an electron pair and hence, it is a Lewis base. Also, CO can be BOTH a Lewis acid and base.

Oxygen is a Lewis base (that too a weak one), not a Lewis acid. REASON: It has lone pair of electrons, which can be donated to electron-deficient species (Lewis acids).

Methane is Neither a Lewis Acid or Lewis Base.

What is one similarity between metals and metalloids?
Arturiano [62]

The correct answer that explains similarities between metal and Metalloids as regards the question is They both conduct electricity

  • Metalloids can be regarded as elements that are  similar to metals, this is because they posses valence orbitals which is described as highly delocalized over macroscopic volumes.

  • As a result of this they can serve as electrical conductors.

  • metalloids posses small energy gap which is located between the valence band as well as the conduction band, as a result of this they are considered as  intrinsic semiconductors when compare to pure conductors like metal.

  • Example of metal is Calcium, sodium and that of Metalloids are silicon and  germanium

Therefore, metal and Metalloids are similar because of their conductivity of electricity

The dissolution of ammonium nitrate occurs spontaneously in water at 25°C. As NH4NO, dissolves, the temperature of the water dec
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

ΔG <0 , ΔH > 0 , ΔS > 0 .

Explanation:

From the data given in question , the reaction is a spontaneous process , hence , the value of change in gibbs free energy would be negative , ΔG <0

And , on dissolution process , the temperature of the water decreases , i.e. , it is an endothermic process , i.e. , the change in enthalphy value is positive , ΔH > 0

And , during the process of dissolution , the ammonia salt break does to ions , i.e. , the randomness increases , hence the ΔS > 0
