7. Tropolone (A) is a molecule that easily loses a proton (H+) to form a relatively stable anion (B). In tropolone (A), the double and single bonds are clearly distinct from each other and their bond lengths very greatly (alternating long, short, long, etc.). However, in ion B, all of the carbon-carbon bonds are very similar. Explain. A OH +H- B
