C
Lewis acid-base reaction
D
Precipitation
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of acid-base reactions: Proton transfer involves the transfer of a proton (H⁺) from an acid to a base. Neutralization is a reaction between an acid and a base to form water and a salt. A Lewis acid-base reaction involves the transfer of an electron pair from a base to an acid.
Identify the nature of a precipitation reaction: Precipitation involves the formation of a solid from a solution when two soluble salts react to form an insoluble product.
Compare the nature of precipitation with acid-base reactions: Note that precipitation does not involve the transfer of protons or electron pairs, which are characteristic of acid-base reactions.
Recognize that precipitation is a different type of chemical reaction: It is primarily concerned with the formation of a solid product, not the exchange of protons or electron pairs.
Conclude that precipitation is not a type of acid-base reaction, as it does not fit the criteria of proton transfer, neutralization, or Lewis acid-base reactions.
