1.CH₃SH is stronger acid than CH₃OH. Why?

2.Which ogf the following pairs has higher resonance energy:

a) CH₃COOH and CH₃COONa

b) CH₂=CH-O^- and CH₂=CH-OH

c)Benzoid and phenoxide

Dear student,

Well, S is larger than O . So when it has the negative charge, it allows it to be spread out more. So CH3SH is stronger than CH3OH

question2 =>

a) CH₃COONa has more resonance energy coz it is more stable than CH3COOH due to

equivalent resonating structures ...

b)CH2=CH-OH has more resonance energy coz uncharded molecules are more stable than

charged ...

1. due to hydrogen bonding in CH3OH it displays basic character

2.C) benzoid and phenoxide as it has more resonance forms
