Document Summary

Ka between 1 and 10-10 pka between 0 and 10. Use single arrow, towards water and non-acid <= Acidity increases with group # of x in hx: strong to weak acid, h-f > h-o > h-n. Electronegativity effect across the row, more en => takes electrons from h bond. Acidity increases with period #: strong to weak acid, h-i > h-br > h-cl > h-f. Bond strength effect strength decreases as size increases (coulomb"s law) Also, large anions are more stable bc charge distribution sp more acidic than sp2 more acidic than sp3 esp. in alks: alk(y>e>a)ne acidity. More s character => the electron which the central atom provides are closer to the central atom => easier to steal. (note: opposite to period # vs acidity!) Organic compounds: electronegative atoms take electrons, making central carbon atoms more partially positive (positive = acidic); making the compound excluding the leaving proton more electronegative (acidic); making the anion more stable as the high.
