Aniline (PhNH2) is significantly less basic than most amines. What is the reason for this?
a. It does not have a lone pair to donate to the proton
b. The lone pair is stabilized by electron delocalization
c. The positive charge on the nitrogen repels protons
d. The electron delocalization stabilizes the extra proton
e. The phenyl group is electron-donating, making the nitrogen less basic

2. Find the distance from the center of mass of a CO molecule to its oxygen atom. Use the fact that
the mass of carbon is 12.0 u, the mass of oxygen is 16.0 u, and the bond length (C-O separation
distance) is 1.11 x 10-¹0 meters. (u= 1 atomic mass unit)
