Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.37UKC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason why ammonia is a Bronsted-Lowry base and methane is not Bronsted-Lowry base has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Bronsted-Lowry Bases: A Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor. A base should contain a lone pair of electrons, which donates to form a new bond. It can be neutral or can contain a negative charge.
