dissociation of proton from the acid depends upon the central atoms's electronegativity

More is the electronegativity of halogen ⇒ more is its pull on the oxygen ⇒ easier will the bond breakage of O-H ⇒ higher the acidity

In terms of E.N :

Cl > Br > I

so HClO₃ is highest acidity with the highest Ka value

Transition metals

Most transition metals differ from the metals of Groups 1, 2, and 13 in that they are capable of forming more than one cation with different ionic charges. As an example, iron commonly forms two different ions

Which type of bonding involves the complete transfer of a valence electron from a less electronegative atom to a more electroneg

Ivan

Answer:

Ionic or electrovalent bonds

Explanation:

Ionic or electrovalent bonds are interatomic or intramolecular bonds which are formed between two kinds of atoms having a large electronegativity difference usually 2.1.

Electronegativity is the property that combines the ability of an atom to gain or lose electrons. It is expressed as the tendency with which atoms of elements attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

In this bond type, a metal transfers its electrons to a more electronegative atom which is a non-metal.

Identify whether each species functions as a Brønsted-Lowry acid or a Brønsted-Lowry base in this net ionic equation. HF (aq) +

VMariaS [17]

Explanation:

A Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton in the form of a hydrogen (H) atom.

On the other hand;

Bronsted-Lowry acid is the substance that donates the proton.

HF (aq) + SO32- ⇌ F- + HSO3-
