Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acidity of a molecule is influenced by the stability of its conjugate base. Typically, the more electronegative the atom bearing the negative charge in the conjugate base, the more stable it is, and thus the more acidic the molecule. Without specific structures, a general trend can be assumed where the molecule with the most electronegative atom or best resonance stabilization in its conjugate base is the most acidic.
