Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why pmethoxybezaldehyde is more basic as compared to pnitrobenzaldehyde by using resonance arguments is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The delocalization of electrons results in the formation of resonance structure. The curved-arrow notation traces the flow of the electrons in a compound. This notation is used to derive the resonance structure.
