Iam confused what is being asked, can someone give an explanation to what is being asked? part of the reasoning that led van't hoff and le bel to propose a tetrahedral shape for methane, ch4, was based on the number of compounds that are theoretically possible for substituted methanes; that is, compounds in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by some other group. for example, only one compound of the type ch2x2 has ever been found. is this consistent with a tetrahedral shape? with a square planar shape? provide an explanation for each answer using appropriate diagrams.

the answer to your question is c

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.

the answer is barium and copper bromide
