Question
Which of the following compounds is the stronger
base? Explain.
or
NH3 is a
v base than NCI3. This is
due to the difference in the electron withdrawing
strength of Cl compared with H.
v is more electronegative than
and will
v more electron density
v the nitrogen than
Thus, the nitrogen atom in NCI3 has a
v positive charge than it does in NH3.
The
v positive charge means that is
v difficult to add H* to NCI3 than it is to
add H* to NH3.
Is the compound Sb(OH)5 likely to be acidic, basic,
or neutral in water? Justify your answer.
Phosphorus and arsenic form acids of the form
X(OH)n, so one would predict that antimony
would be similar as it is in the same family. Based
in the number of OH groups present, it should be
However, antimony hydroxides are not stable and
form oxides which are known to be amphoteric.
Thus, Sb(OH)6 is in fact more likely to be
