Q

How does the increase of electronegativity influence acidity and basicity?

A

Increase acidity by stabilising negative charge of the conjugate base.
Decrease basicity as electrons of more electronegativity are less likely to be donated to a proton.

Q

How does bond energy influence acidity?

A

Increase as its able to disperse the negative charge over the atom weakening the bond strengths.
