Define the an acid/base according to the Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis theories. Support with equation to illustrate an acid-base reaction for each theory, identifying them clearly. Also state the bond type formed in an Lewis acid-base reaction.

Bronsted-Lowry theory: Acid is a proton donor (H + ) and base is a proton acceptor, i.e NH 3 (aq) + H 2 O (l) ⇌ NH 4 + (aq) + OH - (aq) (In the left hand side, the H 2 O is donating a proton thus is the acid...

Explain the change in first ionisation energy across period 2

Ionisation energy increases overall because nuclear charge increases with no significant increase in shielding, so it becomes more difficult to remove the outer electron.Ionisation energy decreases going fro...
