Answer:
This question is incomplete because of the absence of the molecules been referred to in the question. However, the molecules been referred to in the question is in the attachment below
Explanation:
First of all, we have to define lewis acid and lewis base.
A lewis acid is a substance that has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons. For example, H⁺. While a lewis base is a substance that is capable of donating a pair of electrons (to a lewis acid). For example, OH⁻.
Going by the definitions above, we can deduce the type of substance the molecules in the question (attachment) are
a. BF₃ (boron trifluoride) is a lewis acid because the central atom (as suggested to be focused on in the question) which is <u>boron, has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons</u>.
b. The central atom (carbon) in the compound (2-methyl propane) <u>also has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons</u> since it is positively charged (is electron deficient). Hence, it is a lewis acid.
c. The functional group in this compound (trimethyl borate) is the ether. Ethers are generally lewis bases because the oxygen atom in an ether can donate a pair of electrons from it's lone pair. However, the <u>presence of boron which is central to the compound</u> shows it is also a lewis acid, although weak (majorly due to the presence of the ethers).
Answer: There is a couple different ways to determine if a bond is ionic or covalent.
Explanation:
By definition, an ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal, and a covalent bond is between 2 nonmetals. So you usually just look at the periodic table and determine whether your compound is made of a metal/nonmetal or is just 2 nonmetals Hope this helped !!!

Hope that helps!</span>
Answer:
Carbon is non metal because it is found in the right side of the periodic table while calcium is metal because it is found in the left side of the periodic table.
Answer:
7.5 g
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>Ammonium phosphate ((NH₄)₃PO₄) is an important ingredient in many fertilizers. It can be made by reacting phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) with ammonia (NH₃). What mass of ammonium phosphate is produced by the reaction of 4.9 g of phosphoric acid? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
<em />
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
H₃PO₄ + 3 NH₃ ⇒ (NH₄)₃PO₄
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 4.9 g of phosphoric acid
The molar mass of phosphoric acid is 98.00 g/mol.
Step 3: Calculate the moles of ammonium phosphate produced from 0.050 moles of phosphoric acid
The molar ratio of H₃PO₄ to (NH₄)₃PO₄ is 1:1. The moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄ produced are 1/1 × 0.050 mol = 0.050 mol.
Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.050 moles of ammonium phosphate
The molar mass of ammonium phosphate is 149.09 g/mol.
