Which compounds are lewis acids? select all that apply. (ch3ch2)2hc+ cl3c− ch3nh2 bbr3?

1 answer:

3 0

The Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors due to the availability of vacant orbitals they accept electrons from the donor compounds.

$(CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+}$ is a Lewis acid due to the unfilled valence shell on carbon atom (possessing positive charge) it accepts electron readily.
$CCl_{3}^{-}$ is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of negative charge which represents that there are electrons available for donation.
$CH_3NH_2$ is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of lone pair on nitrogen which is easily donated to the acceptors.
$BBr_3$ is a Lewis acid due to the availability of vacant p-orbital on boron atom.

Hence, $(CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+}$ and $BBr_3$ are Lewis acids.

Facts about radiation in the human body

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

How Radiation Affects Your Body. Radiation can damage the DNA in our cells. High doses of radiation can cause Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) or Cutaneous Radiation Injuries (CRI). High doses of radiation could also lead to cancer later in life.

Because radiation kills rapidly dividing cells (which is why we use it to treat fast-growing cancer cells), radiation exposure most increases the risk of cancers of rapidly dividing cells — leading to leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian
