Which of the following statements accurately explains the ranking of OH vs. NH in terms of acidity?
Which of the following statements accurately explains the ranking of OH vs. NH in terms of acidity?
- O is less electronegative than N, making OH weaker.
- The atom effect indicates that O more electronegative makes OH stronger. (correct)
- Resonance effect favors NH over OH.
- The charge effect favors NH over OH based on electron distribution.

Study Notes
Ranking Acidity
- CARIO effects help determine acidity:
- Atom: More electronegative atoms make an acid stronger.
- Resonance: More resonance stabilization of the conjugate base makes an acid stronger.
- Induction: Electron-withdrawing groups increase acidity by stabilizing the conjugate base.
- Charge: A more positive charge makes an acid stronger.
- Orbital: Hybridization affects acidity. sp orbitals are more acidic than sp2, which are more acidic than sp3.
Acid-Base Reactions
- Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reactions involve the transfer of a proton (H+).
- Stronger acids donate protons more readily.
- Weaker acids hold onto protons more tightly.
Organic Molecules
- Nomenclature follows IUPAC rules:
- Parent chain: The longest continuous carbon chain.
- Substituents: Groups attached to the parent chain.
- Numbers: Locate substituents on the parent chain.
