Autoionization occurs when two solvent molecules collide and a proton is transferred between them. Write the autoionization reaction for acetic acid, CH3COOH.

Explanation:

Remember that, ionization is a process by which an atom or a molecule receives a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons during a chemical reaction. However the auto-ionization reaction for acetic acid the two solvent molecules (CH3COOH2)+ + (CH3COO-) collide and a proton is transferred between them.

- 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
