Which of the following describes a neutral atom of oxygen? . a.6 protons. 6 neutrons, 6 electrons. b. 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 8 electrons. c. 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 10 electrons. d. 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons

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 75.0%.
