Concept explainers
Interpretation:The most acidic hydrogen on below structures and reason for the same should be determined.
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 become more acidic than that on neutral atom. This also explains more acidic nature of hydrogens attached to electronegative atoms as compared to other atoms.

- For 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_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.

- Why 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_forwardCircle the more acidic compound of each pair. I also would like a brief explanation of why.arrow_forwardPlease answer part barrow_forward
- please need it HBrO3 acid is weaker than HCIO3 acid. true or false? need detailed explanation along with structures for this statement don't copy from net I will downvotearrow_forward2. For the following set of compounds, box the most acidic and circle the least acidic. Justify your choice. -Farrow_forwardplease answer and explainarrow_forward
