what would be the effect on the properties of the water molecule if oxygen and hydrogen had equal electronegativity?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

It would no longer be a polar molecule with a slightly positive and slightly negative ends. It then would not be able to dissolve ionic salts or polarized organic compounds such as sugar.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

(a) Intermediates

The three structures below represent one contributor to the resonance-stabilized intermediate, in which the lone pair electrons on the heteroatom are participating (the + charge on the heteroatoms do not show up very well).

(b) Relative Stabilities

The relative stabilities decrease in the order shown.

N is more basic than O, so NH₂ is the best electron donating group (EDG) and will best stabilize the positive charge in the ring. However, the lone pair electrons on the N in acetanilide are also involved in resonance with the carbonyl group, so they are not as available for stabilization of the ring.

(c) Relative reactivities

The relative reactivities would be

C₆H₅-NH₂ > C₆H₅-OCH₃ > C₆H₅-NHCOCH₃
