organic chem question??

Members don't see this ad.

can someone explain to me modification of acidity and basicity by resonance and inductive effects?Please no book def. because i have the book def in front of me and it makes no sense.

Organic chem sucks,
Peace to the world..........😎

There are probably sites and forums dedicated specifically to chemistry... do a google search and find one - you'll probably get better help there than here.

I recommend you this book, this book HELPS A LOTS, trust me 🙂

Organic chemistry as a second language--by David R. Klein

I am definitely a chemistry dumb, but I can still get a good grade, this book helps

This book has both Vol. 1 and 2, which helps you along both organic 1 and 2 semester!!

but according to your question here, acidic and basic of a compound can be analyze through a "rule" -ARIO
A--Atom
R--resonance
I--inductive effect
O--orbital
resonance is the availability of moving the electrons around, (I hope you know how to move them around...)
The more resonance form a compound can have, the more stable the compound is, thus more acidic the compound is.
As we move the electrons around, we would like the negative charges land on an atom that has a higher electronegativity. Therefore, a resonance that can have a negative charge passed to the Oxygen is more acidic than the negative charge land on the carbon.
While the inductive effect is about the electronegativity, the oxygen pulling more eletrondensity to itself than the carbon...
(for other parts, get the book and read, atom size and sp orbitals are also influencing factors)
In summary, more stable--> more acidic; less stable--> more basic
If I have concept mistakes, please correct me...

Thank you for totally clearing that up. I got this stupid book that has like a hundred pages on the subject and its like reading chinese.

Thanks again,
Peace to the world..........but not to organic chem........😎

Wow, thanks for the suggestion! I am also totally inept at all things organic chem, so this will help me a lot. 👍
