Most acidic Least acidic a Part 3 out of 3 This ranking is explained by: Electronegativity makes the alcohol OH most acidic; the conjugate base of the a-CH has negatively charged C, and so is least acidic. Electronegativity and resonance makes the COOH most acidic; the conjugate base of the alcohol OH has no stabilization, and so is least acidic. Resonance makes the a-CH most acidic; the conjugate base of the CH, has no stabilization, and so is least acidic. Electronegativity and resonance makes the COOH most acidic; the conjugate base of the CH, has no stabilization, and so is least acidic.
