In organic chemistry reactions, carbocations are sometimes formed during a reaction. A carbocation is a carbon that is positively charged. A simple example is CH3+, but other more complicated molecules can also have carbocations in their structures (such as CH3CH2+).

Which of the following can be said of a carbocation like CH3+?

A. CH3+ can act as a Lewis acid only
B. CH3+ can act as a Lewis acid and Bronsted-Lowry acid
C. CH3+ can act as a Lewis base only
D. CH3+ can act as a Lewis base and a Bronsted-Lowry base
E. CH3+ cannot act as either an acid or base

Based on its chemical properties, identify the position of each chemical family on the periodic table.

At stp, which substance is the best conductor of electricity? a. nitrogen b. neon c. sulfur d. silver

Alice did an experiment to find the relationship between the angle at which a ray of light strikes a mirror and the angle at which the mirror reflects the light. she placed a ray box in front of a mirror. she changed the angle at which the light from the ray box struck the mirror and noted the corresponding angle at which the mirror reflected the light. which of the following is the dependent variable in this experiment? the mirror used to reflect the light the ray box used as the source of light angle at which the light from the ray box strikes the mirror angle at which the mirror reflects the light from the ray box
