Chapter 22, Problem 53PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The basic character of nitrogen atom by comparing with oxygen atom has to be studied by taking an example of an amide and its protonation behavior towards the strong acidic condition.

Concept Introduction:

Resonance is a mental exercise and method within the Valence Bond Theory of bonding that describes the delocalization of electrons within molecules.  The net sum of valid resonance structures is defined as a resonance hybrid, which represents the overall delocalization of electrons within the molecule.  A molecule that has several resonance structures is more stable than one with fewer.  If the delocalization of electrons within molecules is more, the compound is less basic and vice versa.

To find: Compare the basic character of nitrogen atom with oxygen atom in amide and its protonation behavior towards the strong acidic condition

Find the delocalization behavior of a cation on oxygen atom in an amide
