narrows
36
Determining the acidity of the compound: 1) to be a Bronsted-Lowry acid, a compound must contain a ___ atom that can be lost as a proton 2) the stability of the _______ is a good guide to acidity
1) H 2) conjugate base
37
When determining the strongest acid, you must look at the Stability of the _______
conjugate base
38
List the order in which atom electronegativity, inductive effect, hybridization, and resonance effect acidity strength
1) atom electronegativity 2) resonance (quality over quantity) 3) inductive effect (check order) 4) hybridization
39
A more electronegative element can handle a _______ charge more easily giving a more stable conjugate base and stronger acid
negative
40
Inductive effect: transmission of _______ through a chain of atoms in a molecule, resulting in a permanent _______ moment
charge dipole
41
What does EWG stand for? does its inclusion increase or decrease acidity?
electron-withdrawing group increase acidity
42
EWG's contain a _______ which is what makes it an EWG
carbon with a partial positive or just an element with a full positive charge
43
Stronger EWG = _______ acids multiple EWG = _______ acids
stronger stronger
44
What does EDG stand for? does its inclusion increase or decrease acidity?
Electron donating decrease acidity
45
EDG's contain _______ with the exception of the R group which adds through its bonds
lone pairs
46
When determining acidity, first look at the _______ that the H in question is attached to. More _______ atoms are more likely to donate H+ making it a stronger acid
atom electronegative
47
When comparing inductive effects what is the order you should do it?
1) look at the EN of the atom in question 2) look at the closest branch and determine EWG/EDG 3) look at strength then the the number of EWG or EDG 4) if strength and number are same look at the distance
48
When determining the strength of a base, look at the _______. _______ and _______ = weaker base
base EWG Resonance
