The Lewis structure of P₄ is shown in 3-D form. The two bottom corner P atoms are facing right in front of us, one P atom behind the two, and one P above it. Each line represents 2 electrons. When you add the lone electrons, you get a total of 20 valence electrons.
Formal charge of each P: 5 - (2 +1/2*6) = 0
Answer:
Part A
Ag+ is the Lewis acid and NH3 is the Lewis base.
Part B
AlBr3 is the Lewis acid and NH3 is the Lewis base.
Part C
AlCl3 is the Lewis acid and Cl− is the Lewis base.
Explanation:
A Lewis acid is any specie that accepts a lone pair of electrons. Ag^+, AlBr3 and AlCl3 all accepted lone pairs of electrons according to the three chemical reaction equations shown. Hence, they are Lewis acids.
A Lewis base donates a lone pair of electrons. They include neutral molecules having lone pair of electrons such as NH3 or negative ions such as Cl- .
Answer: it’s b)
Explanation: that’s the only difference that is listed
