Concept explainers
Interpretation: The most acidic
Concept introduction: Electronegative elements have tendency to attract electrons towards it. Since electrons are shared more towards electronegative element, it acquires partial negative charge on it. As a result, other bonded atom develops partial positive charge. Polarization in any molecule arises due to electronegativity difference between bonded atoms. Polarization that is caused by electronegative atom can induce polarization in neighboring bonds to very small extent. This effect is known as inductive effect. Due to this effect, hydrogen attached to positive atom becomes more acidic than that on neutral atom. This also explains more acidic nature of hydrogens attached to electronegative atoms as compared to other atoms.

- Rank the following in order of decreasing acidity. Although none of these specific structures appear in Table 1.8, you can use analogous structures in the table to guide your reasoning. 1.65 HO CH3 H. H. H CH3arrow_forwardWhy couldn't it be the H on the other side? Is it specific that only that one H can be the most acidic? Or does it not really matter because orienting the whole molecule such that we are looking at the opposite side of it, it is the same?arrow_forwardew topic [References Draw both resonance structures of the anion formed by the reaction of the most acidic C-H bond of the compound below with base. H3C SCH3 • Include all valence lone pairs in your answer. • For structures having different hydrogens of comparable acidity, assume that the reaction occurs at the less- substituted carbon. • Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. • Separate resonance structures using the → symbol from the drop-down menu.

- Could you please explain in detail for example in figure B (yours)why the hydrogen next to O is not more acidic since Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon . In your D why the oxygen you chose is more basic than the other.please explain each choice .arrow_forwardCircle the most acidic hydrogen atom in the structure shown below.arrow_forward2. Use curved arrows to show electron movement in the reactant side and draw the product/s of the Lewis acid-base (nucleophile-electrophile) reaction. Label the nucleophile and the electrophile. Draw in all lone pairs and charges where appropriate. Iarrow_forward
- Only typed explanation otherwise leave itarrow_forwardUse curved arrows to show the most likely acid-base reaction between phenol and NaOH. a. Use pKa data to mark each curved arrow with a positive or negative energy change in pKa ,units. b. Calculate H for this reaction, and sketch an energy diagram showing H as an arrow onyour diagram.arrow_forwardFor each molecule below, draw the conjugate acid or conjugate base or both if the molecule hasboth a conjugate acid and a conjugate base (e.g., water).arrow_forward
- do all with explanation..if u plan to skip one answer then skip do all plzarrow_forwardA) for each compound show its conjugate base. lone pairs have been left out. B) rank the conjugate base in the order you would predict, from most to least stable. C) rank the original compounds in order, from strongest to weakest acid.arrow_forwardA) for each compound show its conjugate base. lone pairs have been left out.
