When a Bronsted Lowery acid loses a proton ( +H ion ), an electron ( e- ) pair and NET negative charge remain on the proton donor. For example, hydrochloric acid ( HCl ) readily forms +H and -Cl ions when placed within an aqueous solution. Lewis acids, however, expand upon this concept to includeContinue reading “CHEMISTRY: Bronsted Lowery vs. Lewis Acids”

Imagine a world where dollars can be seen with the naked eye, but pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters are invisible. In this world, you are assigned the task of giving a presentation where, somehow or another, dollars replace pennies as the smallest unit of currency. The relationships between the aforementioned currencies will take on theContinue reading “SOLIDS: The mole and Avogadro’s Number”
