Document Summary
Chapter 17: factors that affect acid strength, binary acids, oxyacids, carboxylic acids, binary acids, example: hcl, bond polarity: electron density shifted away from h. The h x bond must be weak enough to be broken. The stability of the conjugate base, x : the more stable the conjugate base, the more acidic the, oxyacids molecule, many acids contain one or more o h bonds. Examples are acetic acid, benzoic acid, and formic acid: the additional oxygen atom on the carboxyl group increases the polarity of the. O h bond and stabilizes the conjugate base: the conjugate base (carboxylate anion) exhibits resonance. Lewis definition is the most general definition of acids and bases: a br nsted-lowry acid is a proton donor, the proton acceptor, the nh3, is the base. It has unshared electrons for: focusing on electrons, a lewis base is an electron-pair donor.
