define an arrehenius base and describe properties of bases. use an example to explain how an arrhenius base will behave in water.

An Arrhenius acid is an acid that dissociates in water to release hydrogen ions.

for example,

HCl is an Arrhenius acid.

HCl +aq⇒ H⁺₍aq₎ +Cl⁻₍aq₎

Acids react with bases to produce salt and water.

Acids react with metals to liberate hydrogen gas and produce a salt.

Acids dissociate in water to form ionic solution that conduct electricity

The acids taste is sour.

Explanation:

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
