A functional group is a specific group of atoms that helps determine the chemistry and reactivity of the overall molecule. When classifying functional groups, we look at both the specific atoms present, as well as the manner in which they are connected to each other. While there are an overwh...
Given that neutral resonance structures are preferred overall, when a resonance structure absolutely must bear a negative charge somewhere,place it on the atom best able to stabilize that charge.Since, in essence, “basicity is the opposite of stability”, this is the same as saying, “put the...
