Hi
I wonder why a proton from hydrogen in HCl leaves and moves to the water
molecule's (H2O) free electronpair and becomes a hydrogen atom. Is it
because the oxide nuclei has less electronegativity than the chloride nuclei
or has it something to do with the bindings between the hydrogen- and oxide
atoms in water H2O and the binding between hydrogen- and nitrogen atoms. I
don’t understand why the proton leaves and how it can, and when H2O takes
the proton it builds a hydrogen atom. Isn't it the whole hydrogen nuclei
that moves and leaves an electron for the acid HCl.
Please help me and give me a well explained answer because I have trouble to
understand the chemistry. I have already asked the teachers but they don't
know it either.
I'm from Sweden so I'm sorry about my English but I hope you can understand
what I meant.
Thanks
