Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The stronger acid among
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity: The chemical behavior of an atom where it attracts the shared electron pair to itself. Down the group, electronegativity decreases as the number of energy levels increases.
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 depends on the acidity of a species. The species having high electronegativity is a weak acid.
