In the reaction below, is HCI acting as a Lewis acid, Bronsted-Lowry acid, or electrophile? Choose all correct answers. CH₂NH₂ + HCI CH₂NH₂ + Cl 8 HCI fits the definition of both a Lewis acid and a Bronsted-Lowry acid although it is more common to call proton donors Bronsted-Lowry acids. All Lewis acids are Bronsted-Lowry acids. DHCI is an electrophile. OHCI is neither a a Lewis acid, Bronsted-Lowry acid, nor electrophile. All Lewis acids are electrophiles.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
