Answer:
only chlorine can expand its octet.
Explanation:
An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital
the electronic configuration of given elements will be:
B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell
Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.
Noble gases are the least<span> reactive </span>elements<span> in the periodic table because they have a full valence shell. Examples are, Argon, Neon, Xenon, and Helium</span>
Answer:
1) correct
2) incorrect
3) correct
4)incorrect
Explanation:
1) A Lewis acid is a substance that accepts a nonbonding pair of electrons.
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton H⁺
Since the donation of a proton involves the acceptance of a pair of electrons, every Bronsted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid.
2)A Lewis acid not necessarily needs to have a proton to be donated.
3) Conjugated acids of weak bases are strong acids and conjugated acids of strong bases are weak acids.
4)K⁺ comes from a strong base, therefore is does not have an acidic behaviour.
