Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The conjugate base structure of the given compound and relation between them is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Brønsted acids are those species which donate a proton. Acid loses a proton and forms conjugate base. The acidity of the compound depends upon the stability of its conjugate base. The more stable the conjugate base, the more acidic is the compound.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the given compounds, the more acidic compound with an energy diagram is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Brønsted bases are those species which accept a proton. Base accepts a proton and forms conjugate acid. Brønsted acids are those species which donate a proton. Acid loses a proton and forms conjugate base. The acidity of the compound depends upon the stability of its conjugate base. The more stable the conjugate base, the more acidic is the compound. It also depends on the charge, inductive effects, the role of atom present.
