A compound makes OH- in water this is considered to be which of the following?
A. Arrhenius Acid

B. Arrhenius Base

C. Bronsted-Lowry Acid

D. Bronsted-Lowry Base

B. Arrhenius Base.

Spotting an Arrhenius base is pretty easy, because it is defined as a compound which will dissociate in water to produce OH- ion.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
