Arrhenius Theory: according to Arrhenius, acid is one that can donate proton in an aqueous solution, while base is one that can donate hydroxide ion in an aqueous solution.
Bronsted-Lowry Theory: according to Bronsted Lowry, acid is one that can donate protons while base is one that can accept a proton.
1. In first, only C. NH3 can't give hydroxide ion, but can accept a proton so it is a Bronsted-Lowry Base but not an Arrhenius base.
2.In second, as the definition suggested, bronsted base is one that can accept protons and acid is one that can loose protons. so answer is D. Acids lose H+ and bases gain H+.
Yes hydrogen is a non metal
The statement which is true is
Fluorine is more reactive than nitrogen because fluorine needs only one electron to fill its outermost shell.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
Fluorine has electron configuration of 1S²2S²2P⁵ while nitrogen has 1S²2S²2P³ electron configuration.
The 2P sub shell for nitrogen is half filled therefore it is sable than fluorine.
since p orbital can hold a maximum of 6 electrons ,Fluorine requires 1 electron to completely fill it's 2P sub shell which make it more reactive than nitrogen.
Answer:
Synthetic detergents can be used for washing purposes even when the water is hard, whereas soaps are not suitable for washing with hard water. This is because of the fact that synthetic detergents can lather with hard water. Hence, Synthetic detergents better than soaps.
