Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases
strength of acid related to stability of conjugate base
conjugate bases carry negative charges
stabilized by: polarizability related to size (LDF)
electronegativity

Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases
strength of acid related to stability of conjugate base
conjugate bases carry negative charges
stabilized by: electronegativity
with same size orbitals,
electronegativity determines stability

Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases
strength of acid related to stability of conjugate base
conjugate bases carry negative charges
inductive effect
related to electronegativity – but atom near charge
more stable base
stronger acid

HNO3
HNO2
For oxoacids with same central atom,
more O means stronger acid
For oxoacids with same number of O,
more electronegative central atom means stronger acid
