Correct answer: C. Soft Acid
- A. Soft Base
- B. Hard Base
- C. Soft Acid
- D. Hard Acid
Explanation
The question describes an acceptor atom that is of low positive charge, large size, and has several outer electrons that can be easily excited. These are characteristic features of a soft acid. Soft acids tend to form more covalent bonds and interact with soft bases. In contrast, hard acids have high positive charge and small size, which does not match the description. Soft and hard bases refer to donor characteristics, not acceptor characteristics.
