Document Summary
Chapter 2 lecture notes: boikess, acids and bases review (hp. Chap 15), remember the problems you had with understanding this topic. It is one of the more difficult in gen. Here we will make a simplification. : in 162 we did ka and kb. Here we do only ka (and pka) for all situations: neutral acids and the charged conjugate acids of neutral bases. + and amines etc: review of lewis acids and bases. An electron pair donor is a lewis base. Also nonhydroxylic ones such as nh3 (because of lone pair) and bf3 (because of incomplete octet) and ions such as x- and some cations (subject to octet restrictions). It can accept electrons because it has an incomplete: electrophiles and nucleophiles. Another way of thinking about lewis acids and bases. Very important because it allows us to easily characterize chemical properties and behavior.
