The bond dissociation energies for aa, bb, and ab are 7.55, 7.44, and 8.62 ev, respectively. calculate the
difference the electronegativities of a and b on the pauling scale.
select one:
a. 1.06
b. 1.01
c. 1.02

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.
