90. One of the substances that give wet goats and dirty gym socks their characteristic odors is hexanoic acid, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CO2H, which is a monoprotic weak acid. Write the formula for the conjugate base of this acid. Write the equation for the reaction between this acid and water, and indicate the Brønsted Lowry acid and base for the forward reaction. (The acidic hydrogen atom is on the right side of the formula.)

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
