Explanation:

As the number of valence electrons in boron is three, it forms compounds that are electron deficient. Such electron-deficient molecules tend to accept a pair of electrons to achieve stable electronic configuration and thus, behave as Lewis acids.

The correct answer is Graphite. The change in enthalpy of carbon in diamond to graphite form is negative. It shows that graphite should be more stable than diamond. The melting point of graphite is more than diamond which implies that it is a thermodynamically most stable allotrope of carbon.

#1

  • Lewis acids can accept a pair of electrons for which their octet should be incomplete.

Lets take a compound of Boron .

  • Take BF_3

Total bonded electrons=6(Incomplete octet)

  • It requires 2 electrons .
  • So it behaves as Lewis acid.

#2

You just need to observe the melting point and structure

  • Diamond has carbon bonds in tetrahedral shape .
  • where as graphite has bonds in hexagonal shape

So graphite has more boiling point.

  • Therefore graphite is more stable

Explain all ways your atom and symbol for it would change if you removed 2 electrons from the atom

Each atom/element has an electron configuration

The electron configuration shows the energy level of the electron

Each electron configuration has 4 quantum numbers, namely n, l, ml, and ms

  • n = the principal
  • l = the angular momentum / azimuthal
  • ml = the magnetic
  • ms = the electron-spin

We make an example of the element Mg which is in group 2 with the atomic number 12

Electron configuration of Mg: [Ne] 3s² or 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

if Mg removes 2 electrons then Mg will form a positive ion (cation) Mg²⁺

This cation is included in the monatomic ion because it is formed from one element (in contrast to the polyatomic ion, which is formed from two or more elements such as SO₄²⁻, ClO₃⁻)

Electron configuration of Mg²⁺ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

So atoms can be positively or negatively charged depending on removing or attracting electrons

In the presence of strong acids, which of the oxygen atoms on the carboxyl group is preferentially protonated and why?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Protonation occurs at the carbonyl oxygen because the resulting conjugate acid is stabilized by resonance.

Explanation:

The carboxyl group is an organic and a functional group that consists of a carbon atom that's singly bonded to a hydroxyl group and double-bonded to an oxygen atom.

In the presence of strong acids, protonation occurs at the carbonyl oxygen because the resulting conjugate acid is stabilized by resonance.

leonid [27]
The subgroup that comes after genus is species. It is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which two individuals are capable of reproducing fertile offspring, typically using sexual reproduction. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

What does an increase of 1 pH number represent?​
Kitty [74]

Answer:

A one-point pH change indicates the strength of the acid or base has increased or decreased tenfold; a 2-point change indicates a 100-fold change in acidity or alkalinity, and a 3-point change in pH indicates a 1000-fold change. Examples: • An increase in pH from 7.0 to 8.0 means the water is 10 times more basic.
