  Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry, Chapter 4, Problem 34CTQ

Concept introduction: According to the Bronsted-Lowry concept, a substance that donates proton is termed as acid while that accepts or gains protons is called a base. Species formed after loss of protons from acids are known as their respective conjugate bases whereas conjugate acid is produced by the addition of protons to base.

Conjugate acid of base is produced when hydrogen (H+) ions are added to base. Conjugate base of acid is formed when hydrogen (H+) ion is removed from acid. So substances that contain hydrogen in them act as conjugate acids while substances that do not have hydrogens attached act as conjugate bases.

Can somone explain what I'm looking at on a molecule that will determine how strong/weak of a base it is?
Which do you expect to be the stronger acid: CH3CN or CH3NC? Explain. Hint: Draw out the complete Lewis structure for each molecule.
