13. (08.04 LC) Which type of substance ionizes partially and gives off hydrogen ions when dissolved in water? (5 points)

a. Strong acid

b. Strong base

c. Weak acid

d. Weak base

anyone know??? HEL

c. Weak acid

Explanation:

Thus the correct answer is option c. Weak acid.

A strong acid would ionize completely, while a base would give off hydroxide ions (OH⁻).

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
