Acidic Strength:-
- Lewis acids are electron-pair acceptors while some acids are proton donors.
- HO- is a conjugate base of water, where H3O+ is the conjugate acid.
- Any molecule, atom or ion which stabilizes the conjugate base will always increase the acidity.
- The acidic character increases with the increase in formal charge in the molecule.
- Acidity is directly proportional to electronegativity.
- Resonance effect - delocalization of negative charge in a molecule increases acidity.
- Due to the increase in inductive effect acidic character increases.
- Due to higher s-character acidity increases.
