lol. No I cant

Oh great. So now I need a mnemonic to remember that.

Yes acids accept but what do they accept? Protons or electrons? That's exactly why I needed a mnemonic to help me remember. A proton is a bare nucleus. Its tiny. Its not a blob. A lone pair is.

A better diagram. Ammonia has an extra lone pair that Boron trifluoride can accept

Lone pairs ARE the only true bases. They accept protons and other similar species. Water has protons and lone pairs so it is both acid & base.

Fluoroantimonic acid is a mixture of hydrogen fluoride and antimony pentafluoride, containing various cations and anions (the simplest being H 2F+ and Sb F− 6). This mixture is a superacid that, in terms of corrosiveness, is trillions of times stronger than pure sulfuric acid when measured by...

Well I would strongly recommend starting with Lewis acids and bases since lone pairs are the underlying cause of the phenomenon.

That may be true but not everything can be a Lewis acid or Lewis base

To remember which one (acid or base) is lone pairs and which one is protons (or other similar species).

Blob-like Bases are the basis of Lewis acid-base chemistry. The basis is that bases act like the blob. Their lone pair orbital envelops and swallows bare protons. Basis-Bases-Blob Lone pairs ARE the only true bases. They accept protons and other similar species. Water has protons and lone...

I am simply noting that the numbers match the image below it. And I am no longer sure that it is an image of sp3 hybridization. It might be something else

n ℓ mℓ ms mj j mℓ + ms 2 1.5 1.5 +0.5 2 2 2 1.5 0.5 +0.5 1 2 2 1.5 −0.5 +0.5 0 2 2 1.5 -1.5 +0.5 -1 2 2 1.5 -1.5 −0.5 −2 2 2 1.5 -0.5 −0.5 -1 1 2 1.5 0.5 −0.5 0 1 2 1.5 1.5 −0.5 1 1

The answer appears to be 1.5 but I don't know why

The s orbital corresponds to l=0 The p orbital corresponds to l=1 For an electron in an sp3 hybridization orbital what is l?
