Concept explainers
In the following compound, identify whether each lone pair is available to function as a base, and explain your choice:
Interpretation:
The availability of lone pair in the compound to function as a base has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
If a lone pair is not a part of the ring means not taking part in resonance, then it will be available to function as a base. It also can be explained in other way. Like if a lone pair is present in a
Nitrogen in both pyrrole and pyridine has a lone pair and it is

- Complete the equation for the reaction between each Lewis acid-base pair. In each equation, label which starting material is the Lewis acid and which is the Lewis base; use curved arrows to show the flow of electrons in each reaction. In doing this problem, it is essential that you show valence electrons for all atoms participating in each reaction.

In the space provided below, draw Lewis electron dot structures of SCN- and all of its important resonance forms.arrow_forward
- Complete each acid-base reaction and predict whether the position of equilibrium lies toward the left or toward the right.
