Q

What are the two basic factors affecting the acidic basic character of molecules?

A
  1. Check the stability of the conjugate base (electro negativity ↑ stability ↓, stability of conjugate base ↓, acidic property↓)
    2.structural difference of groups(existance of exchangeable proton, different organic molecules )
