Question
**Title**: Understanding Bronsted Acidity and Conjugate Base Anions **Introduction**: In this exercise, you are asked to rank compounds in order of increasing Bronsted acidity, specifically focusing on the conjugate base anions while ignoring keto isomers. This involves analyzing the stability of the anions formed after deprotonation and understanding resonance contributors. **Task**: Rank the given compounds in order of increasing Bronsted acidity by examining their conjugate base anions. Provide a brief explanation that includes drawings of each conjugate base anion and all relevant resonance contributors. Your explanation should include the term "energy of electrons." **Instructions**: - Consider the stability provided by resonance in each conjugate base. - Analyze how the energy of electrons influences the acidity. **Ranking**: 1. **Weakest Acidity** 2. To 3. **Strongest Acidity** **Diagrams**: - **Compound A**: Shows a structure labeled with a hydroxyl group and potential resonance contributors. - **Compound B**: Contains a structural formula illustrating possible resonance forms. - **Compound C**: Contains another structural formula for analysis of resonance effects. **Note**: Examine how resonance stabilization affects the "energy of electrons" in each structure to determine the relative acidity.
