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.

The abnormally high boiling point for water is due to...
Svetach [21]
Extensive hydrogen bonding. 

It takes a lot of energy to break hydrogen bonds and turn liquid water into a gas, therefore the boiling point for water is high.

Which atom or ion is the largest?<br><br> A. K<br> B. K+<br> C. Ca<br> D. Ca2+<br> E. Li
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

A. K

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the trends in the Periodic Table:

  • Atomic radii <em>decrease</em> from left to right across a Period.
  • Atomic radii <em>increase</em> from top to bottom in a Group.
  • Ionic radii of metal cations are <em>smaller</em> than those of their atoms.

Thus, the largest atoms are in the lower left corner of the Periodic Table.

The diagram below shows that K is closest to the lower left, so it is the largest atom. It is also larger than any of the cations.

What is meant by the term neutral in relation to atoms?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

it means positive and negative charges are  equal.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

when a neutral atom loses a electron positive charge is created because  number of protons are positive charge becomes greater than negative charge.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

When a neutral atom accept  the electron negative charge is created because negative charge is become greater than positive charge.

X + e⁻ → X⁻
