Question
Chapter 22, Problem 22.75AP
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The conjugate acid structure of the two given compounds
Concept introduction:
The basicity of the compound depends upon the stability of its conjugate acid. The more stable the conjugate acid, the more basic the given compound. It also depends on the charge, inductive effects, the role of atom present, resonance, orbitals.
Interpretation Introduction
