Q
Bronsted-Lowry base
A
proton acceptor
3
Q
Ka
A
acidity constant. How the strength of an acid is measured. Large Ka=stronger acid.
4
Q
inductive effects
A
structural effects that are transmitted through bonds. Depends on electronegativity between the atoms attached to H. This will cause the acid to be stronger.
