Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of adenine is to be drawn, and the nonbonding electron pairs that are not part of the aromatic system and nitrogen atoms that are more and less basic are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The electrons on nitrogen atom that take part in the aromatic system are not available for protonation, thereby making the nitrogen less basic.
