3.Explain why the magnitude of repulsion decreases in the following order: lone pair–lone pair > lone pair–bonding pair > bonding pair–bonding pair.

This order is true because lone pairs electrons have more repulsion energy than bond electrons .

4.In the trigonal bipyramidal arrangement, why does a lone pair occupy an equatorial position rather than an axial position?

 Lone pairs are more repulsive than a normal bond, so naturally it wants to be as far away from everything as possible.

6.Write ionic and net ionic equations for the following reactions:

(a) AgNO3(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) →

(b) BaCl2(aq) + ZnSO4(aq) →

(c) (NH4)2CO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) →

These two tables are helpful in solving this kind of questions :



a)

$$ AgNo_{3(aq)}+Na_2 (SO)_{4(aq)} \rightarrow 2Ag(So)_{4}+2Na(No_3)$$

Ionic equation :

$$2(Ag)^+ +2(No_3)^- +2(Na)^+ +(So_4)^{2-}\rightarrow \, Ag_2(So)_{4}+2(Na)^+ +2(NO_3)^-$$

net ionic equation :

$$2(Ag)^+ +(So_4)^{2-}\,\rightarrow Ag_2(So)_{4}$$

b)
$$ BaCl_{2(aq)}+Zn (SO)_{4(aq)} \rightarrow Ba(So)_{4}+ZnCl_2$$

Ionic equation :

$$(Ba)^{2+} +2(Cl)^{-} +(Zn)^{+2} +(So_4)^{2-}\rightarrow \, Ba(So)_{4}+(Zn)^{+2} +2(Cl)^-$$

Net Ionic equation :

$$(Ba)^{+2}+(So_4)^{-2}\,\rightarrow Ba(So)_{4}$$

c)
 $$(NH_4)_2 Co_3+CaCo_3\rightarrow\, NH_4Cl+CaCo_3$$

Ionic Equation :
$$2(NH_4)^{+} +(Co_3)^{2-} +(Ca)^{2+} +2(Cl)^{-}\rightarrow \, Ca(Co)_{3}+2(NH_4)^{+} +2(Cl)^-$$

Net Ionic Equation :
$$(Ca)^{2+}+(Co_3)^{2-}\, \rightarrow \, CaCo_3$$

7.List the general properties of acids and bases.

- Acids has a sour taste whether Bases has a bitter taste .
- Acids and Bases are strong electrolytes
- Acids turn blue litmus red while Bases turn red litmus blue

8.Give Arrhenius's and Brønsted's definitions of an acid and a base. Why are Brønsted's definitions more useful in describing acid-base properties?

- Arrhenius Acid is a substance that produce a (H+) ions when it ionizes in water .
- Arrhenius Base is a substance that produce a (OH-) ions when it ionizes in water .

- Bronsted Acid is a proton donor .
- Bronsted Base is a proton acceptor .

Bronsted definitions are more convenient because Arrhenius's ones are restricted to the behavior of acids and bases in aqueous solutions .

9.Give an example of a monoprotic acid, a diprotic acid, and a triprotic acid.

- Monoprotic acid : 
$$HCl$$
- Diprotic acid : 
$$H_2So_4$$
- Triprotic acid :
$$H_3Po_4$$

10.What are the products of an acid-base neutralization reaction?

-Water and salts

11.What factors qualify a compound as a salt? Specify which of the following compounds are salts: CH4, NaF, NaOH, CaO, BaSO4, HNO3, NH3, KBr 

- The factors are that salts are solids because they are a products of acid and base reaction and the salts must contain of a combination of an anion and a cation in which the cation isn't a (H+) and anion isn't
$$o^{2-}or (OH)^{-}$$


$$CH_4\, isn't a\, salt$$
$$NaF\, is\, a\, salt$$
$$NaOH, isn't\, a\, salt$$
$$CaO, isn't a\, salt$$
$$BaSo_4\, is\, a\, salt$$
$$HNO_3\, isn't a\, salt$$
$$NH_3\, isn't a\, salt$$
$$KBr\, is a\, salt$$

11.Identify the following as a weak or strong acid or base: (a) NH3, (b) H3PO4, (c) LiOH, (d) HCOOH (formic acid), (e) H2SO4, (f) HF, (g) Ba(OH)2

this figure below may be helpful.

$$-NH_3 \,is\,a\,weak\,base $$
$$-H_3Po_4\,is\,a\,weak\, acid $$
$$-LiOH \, is\,a\,strong\, base $$
$$-HCOOH \, is\, a\, weak\, acid $$
$$H_2So_4 is\, a\, strong\, acid$$
$$-HF \, is\, a\, weak\, acid$$
$$-Ba(OH)_2 \, is\, a\, Strong\, base $$

12.Identify each of the following species as a Brønsted acid, base, or both:

(a) $$HI$$
Both



(b) $$(C_2H_3O_2)^{-}$$



(c)
(d)
