Presentation Transcript

  1. The Chemistry of Acids and Bases Chapter 17

  2. Lewis Acids & Bases Lewis acid = a substance that accepts an electron pair Lewis base = a substance that donates an electron pair

  3. Reaction of a Lewis Acid and Lewis Base New bond formed using electron pair from the Lewis base. • Coordinate covalent bond

  4. Lewis Acids & Bases Formation of hydronium ion is also an excellent example. • Electron pair of the new O-H bond originates on the Lewis base.

  5. Lewis Acid/Base Reaction

  6. Lewis Acids & Bases This explains AMPHOTERICnature of some metal hydroxides. Al(OH)3(s) + 3 H+D Al3+ + 3 H2O Here Al(OH)3 is a Brønsted base. Al(OH)3(s) + OH- --> Al(OH)4- Here Al(OH)3 is a Lewis acid.

  7. Basicity of Oxoanions NO3- These ions are BASES. They become more and more basic as the negative charge increases. As the charge goes up, they interact more strongly with polar water molecules. CO32- PO43-
