#1
Front (Question)

What is the species formed when an acid transfers a proton to a base?

Back (Answer)

conjugate base

#2
Front (Question)

What is the result of a proton-transfer reactions that occur with compounds having pi electrons?

Back (Answer)

 The result of the proton-transfer reaction is formation of a carbocation, a species in which one of its carbons has only six electrons in its valence shell and carries a charge of +1

What is a conjugate acid-pair?

Back (Answer)

o Any pair of molecules or ions that can be interconverted by transfer of a proton is called a conjugate acid-base pair
