Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the compound for which you need to find the conjugate base. In this case, it is H2Se.
Understand that a conjugate base is formed when an acid donates a proton (H+).
Remove one hydrogen ion (H+) from H2Se. This involves subtracting one hydrogen atom and its positive charge.
After removing one H+, the remaining species is HSe−. This is because the removal of a positively charged proton leaves behind a negatively charged ion.
Write the formula of the conjugate base, which is HSe−.
