Question

25

For the compound below, please determine which of the two protons (a) or (b) is more acidic using the ARIO rule and explain your reasoning.

**Note**: To answer the question correctly, please draw both Conjugate Base 1 and Conjugate Base 2. Determine which of the two protons is more acidic using the ARIO rule and explain your reasoning. If the reason is R (number of Resonance Structures), please draw all the resonance structures. Make sure you keep track of all formal charges and lone pairs.

**Structure Diagram:**

- The diagram shows a molecular structure with a nitrogen atom, two protons labeled as (a) and (b), and lone electron pairs. Proton (a) is attached to a carbon explaining a bond with an adjacent nitrogen atom, which also shows lone pairs. Proton (b) is connected to a methyl group bonded to the nitrogen atom.

**Options:**

A: Proton (a) is more acidic because of A (atom type and/or size in ARIO)

B: Proton (b) is more acidic because of A (atom type and/or size in ARIO)

C: Proton (a) is more acidic because of R (number of resonance structures in ARIO)

D: Proton (b) is more acidic because of R (number of resonance structures in ARIO)

E: Proton (a) is more acidic because of I (induction in ARIO)

F: Proton (b) is more acidic because of I (induction in ARIO)

G: Proton (a) is more acidic because of O (orbital type in ARIO)

H: Proton (b) is more acidic because of O (orbital type in ARIO)
