Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given compounds are to be arranged in order of increasing basicity.
Concept introduction: According to Lewis acid-base theory, the compounds which can donate its lone pair of electrons are termed as bases and the electron acceptors are known as acids.
(b)
Interpretation: The given compounds are to be arranged in order of increasing basicity.
Concept introduction: According to Lewis acid-base theory, the compounds which can donate its lone pair of electrons are termed as bases and the electron acceptors are known as acids. Amines act like a base as the nitrogen atom contains one lone pair of electrons.

- Rank and explain the following compounds in order of increasing acidityarrow_forwardRank the compounds in each group in order of increasing acidity.arrow_forwardThe order of increasing acidity is Phenol < meta-cyanophenol < ortho-cyanophenol 1.how about para-cyanophenol??does it has higher acidicity than both ortho-cyanophenol and meta cyanophenol or lower?? 2.why does ortho-cyanophenol have higher acidicity than meta cyanophenol?? 3. why doesmeta cyanophenol have higher acidicity than Phenolarrow_forward
- Draw the structure of a constitutional isomer of compound B that fits each description. a. an isomer that is at least 105 times more acidic than B b. an isomer that is at least 105 times less acidic than B c. an isomer that is comparable in acidity to Barrow_forwardRank the compounds in each group in order of increasing acidity. (see Attached)arrow_forwardDecide which N atom in each molecule is most basic, and draw the product formed when each compound is treated with CH3CO2H. Zolpidem (trade name Ambien) is used to treat insomnia, whereasaripiprazole (trade name Abilify) is used to treat depression,schizophrenia, and bipolar disorders.arrow_forward
