Ag+

Postby Kaitlin Joya 1I » Sun Nov 28, 2021 6:00 pm

Since Ag+ has no valence electrons, how do you determine whether this is an acid or a base?

Ag+ is an electron acceptor because it has a positive charge

Since it doesn't have a lone pair, Ag+ is an acid.

Specifically using the Lewis definition, Ag+ is a Lewis acid since it accepts an electron.

Ag+ is an acid, due to the positive charge and the fact that it is an electron acceptor.

Due to the fact that electrons are attracted to positive charges, and Ag+ has a positive charge, we can say that Ag+ is an acid and accepts electrons.

An atom will be an acid if it donates electrons and a base if it accepts electrons.

Ag+ accepts electrons, so according to Lewis acid and bases, it is an acid.

Since it has no lone pairs it would be an electron acceptor or a lewis acid.

Ag+ is an acid because it accepts an electron as positive charges attract the negative charge of electrons.

Ag+ has a positive charge so it accepts electrons and therefore is a lewis acid.

Since it accepts electrons, it would be considered a Lewis acid.

Because of its positive charge, Ag+ is an electron acceptor. It's an electron acceptor or a Lewis acid since it doesn't have any lone pairs.

Since it has no valence electrons, it cannot donate them to a different compound which make Ag+ a Lewis acid.

Since Ag+ is positive it is an electron acceptor because it doesn’t have as many as it should have.

it is an acid because it has no electros to give so it must accept.

Because it has a positive charge, it is looking to accept electrons to neutralize the charge, thus making it an acid (electron acceptor).
