Conjugate acid-base pair differ by
Options
- Aelectron
- Bproton
- Cneutron
- Dhydroxyl group
Correct answer
B. proton
Step-by-step solution
According to Bronsted-Lowry concept, after losing a proton, acids convert into conjugate base and after gaining a proton, bases convert into their conjugate acid, ie, array l Acid - H ⁺ conjugate base Base + H ⁺ conjugate acid array Thus, conjugate acid-base pair is differ by proton.
