Answer : A substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a(n) Lewis-base.

Explanation :

According to the Lewis acid-base theory,

Lewis acid : It is a substance that can accepts pairs of electrons to form a covalent bond.

Lewis-base : It is a substance that can donates pairs of electrons to form a covalent bond.

For example :

H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O

In this reaction, H^+ ion is Lewis-acid and OH^- ion is a Lewis-base. The OH^- ion donates electrons to H^+ ion to form H_2O.

Hence, a substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a(n) Lewis-base.

A substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a Lewis base. It is any substance that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons with no change of oxidation numbers of any atoms.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

However, it should be noted that addition of soluble salts generally lowers the freezing point of water hence after the addition, water will no longer freeze at 0°C but lower.

Soluble salts tend to form more ions in water, it is these ions that are responsible for interfering with the hydrogen bonds hence lowering the freezing. Thus, (since each bag are of the same weight) <u>the bag that contains the salt that ionizes more in water will lower the freezing point by the greatest amount</u>.

NOTE: Different weight of the salts could lead to more ions been formed in the water by some salts as against the other.

Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the ________ position.
Anni [7]

Answer:

Axial

Explanation:

In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.

If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.

The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation  where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.
