Document Summary

O = orbitals: a = atoms. Larger atoms are more stable because the ion is bigger and not as compact: as you go down the periodic table, acidity increases, and vice versa: as you go up the periodic table, basicity increases. When you go across the periodic table (left to right), the acidity increases, and vice versa. As you go more left, the basicity increases: the higher the electronegativity of an atom, the easier it will be to acquire a negative charge, o = orbitals. The hybridization can tell you about the acidity: s > sp > sp2 > sp3 for acidity, i = induction. Inductive effect = electronic effects transmitted through bonds (electron donating, electron withdrawing) More electronegative atoms have an inductive pull on negative charges, making acids more stable and stronger acids: this means atoms like f, cl can make things more acidic.
