SEP Develop a Model The element argon (Ar) has eight valence electrons and is a liquid at very low temperatures. Sketch a model of two argon

atoms and where each atom's electrons need to be in order for an attractive

dispersion force to occur. Make a similar sketch that explains why larger

molecules typically experience larger dispersion forces.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.

give me abc and i will get it for u.
