Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The stronger acid among
Concept introduction:
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
If an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.
Electronegativity:
The chemical behavior of an atom where it attracts the shared electron pair to itself. Down the group in the periodic table, electronegativity decreases as the number of energy levels increases.
Electronegativity depends on the acidity of a species. The species having high electronegativity is a weak acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The stronger acid among
Concept introduction:
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
If an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.
