The strength of an acid is affected by the polarity of the bond connected to the acidic hydrogen. The more highly polarized this bond, the more easily the hydrogen is ionized. Electronegative atoms or groups of atoms present in the structure of an acid can act to withdraw electrons and produce additional polarization. Two common groups of acids to which this principle can be applied are oxoacids and carboxylic acids. In the latter group, the length of the hydrocarbon chain in a carboxylic acid has very little effect on acid strength Longer chains may slightly diminish acidity. Bases act as hydrogen ion acceptors because of the unshared electron pass in their structure. Any group present in a base that withdraws electrons makes these electron pairs less available to accept a hydrogen ion. In contrast, any group that can act as an electron donating group such as hydrocarbon groups (usually represented as II) can increase the base strength. Thus, the addition of electronegative atoms or groups of atoms to the structure of a base decreases the base strength and electron donating groups increase base strength. Many common weak bases are derivatives of ammonia, in which H atom(s) of NH_2 are replaced with other groups. Arrange the following oxoacids in order of decreasing acid strength. Rank from strongest to weakest acid.
1. HBrO
2. HClO
3. HClO2
4. HClO3

Many bird species build nests in which they raise their offspring. one of these species is known as the magnolia warbler. breeding pairs of magnolia warblers build nests out of pieces of grass and twigs. the female warbler will then lay her eggs in the nest and sit on the eggs for a few weeks until they hatch. after the offspring have hatched, the female will continue to sit on the newborn chicks to keep them warm. both the male and the female bring food for the offspring to eat until the young are mature enough to find food on their own. which of these most likely describes why birds such as the magnolia warbler build nests in which to raise their offspring? a. nest building decreases the amount of energy used by the parent birds to raise their offspring to adulthood. b. nest building increases the probability that the offspring will survive and eventually produce offspring of their own. c. nest building decreases the amount of food that the offspring require the adult birds to provide. d. nest building increases the probability of the offspring being located by airborne predators.
