Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given compounds have same conjugate base structures is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Brønsted acids are those species which donate a proton. Acid loses a proton and forms conjugate base. The acidity of the compound depends upon the stability of its conjugate base. The more stable the conjugate base, the more acidic is the compound.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the given compound, the more acidic compound with an energy diagram arguments is to be stated.

(B) (A) (C) (D)arrow_forwardExplain with the help of resonance structures which of the two nitrogen atoms is more basic in the following molecule.arrow_forwardHow do triphenylphosphine and borane form a Lewis acid-base adduct? (a) The phosphorus atom in triphenylphosphine is less electronegative than the boron atom in borane and is thus attracted to boron to form the bond. (b) The phosphorus in triphenylphosphine exchanges with the boron from borane. (c) Triphenylphosphine donates the lone pair on its phosphorus to the electron-deficient boron in borane. (d) Triphenylphosphine donates a phenyl ring from its phosphorus to the electron-deficient boron in borane. (e) The phosphorus in triphenylphosphine accepts a proton from the proton-rich borane.arrow_forward
