Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 40P
The compound at right has (for obvious reasons) been given the trivial name squaric acid. Squaric acid is a diprotic acid, with both protons being more acidic than acetic acid. In the dianion obtained after the loss of both protons, all of the carbon–carbon bonds are the same length as well as all of the carbon-oxygen bonds. Provide a resonance explanation for these observations.

- Need help with this question please, it's split up into two parts. For part two, I gave options where they were available. 1. Draw the conjugate acid with formal charge(s) below. If there are electrons around any of the atoms ignore them for now. The details will be addressed in the next section. 2. Now specify the details of the structure that was drawn.N with three single bonds and 2 electrons around the atom in the base becomes a N atom with (blank) bonds. (Negative Charge/No Charge/Positive Charge), and (blank) electron(s) around the atom in the conjugate acid.arrow_forwardGive clear detailed Solution with explanation needed..don't give Handwritten answer..don't use Ai for answering thisarrow_forwardsee image and questionarrow_forward
- Draw the major resonance structure structure for b,c, darrow_forward[References] Compare the structures of HNO2 and H2 CO3. Which would you expect to be the stronger acid? Why? O Nitrogen has a greater electronegativity than carbon. Thus, H-O bond in HNO2 is more polar than in H2 CO3, and HNO2 is the stronger acid. O Nitrogen has a smaller radius than carbon. Thus, H-O bond in HNO2 is shorter than in H2 CO3 , and H2 CO3 is the stronger acid. O Nitrogen has a smaller radius than carbon. Thus, H-O bond in HNO2 is shorter than in H2CO3 , and HNO, is the stronger acid. O Nitrogen has a greater electronegativity than carbon. Thus, H--0 bond in HNO2 is more polar than in H2 CO3, and H2CO3 is the stronger acid.
