Question
In the Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, acid–base reactions are viewed as proton-transfer reactions. The stronger the acid, the weaker is its conjugate base.
(A) If we were to think of redox reactions in a similar way, what particle would be analogous to the proton?
If we were to think of redox reactions in a similar way, what particle would be analogous to the proton?
(B)Would strong oxidizing agents be analogous to strong acids or strong bases?
Would strong oxidizing agents be analogous to strong acids or strong bases?
The neutron would be analogous to the proton. The electron would be analogous to the proton. The alpha particle would be analogous to the proton. The gamma would be analogous to the proton.Explanation / Answer
a) in case of acid base proton is being transfered
similarly in redox reaction electrons are being transfered
Hence The electron would be analogous to the proton.
b) Oxidizing agent will be analogus to strong base
