c) spin type
d) metal type
e) isotope effect
f) resonance
g) orbitals

Answer 1

The answer is option a,band f. The factors that affect a stable conjugate base are induction, charge on atom, and resonance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors discussed in this chapter that affect a stable conjugate base are:

• Induction: Atoms or groups of atoms in a molecule can induce a change in the distribution of electrons within the molecule, which can affect the acidity or basicity of the molecule.
• Charge on Atom: The stability of the conjugate base is influenced by the charge on the atom. A more stable conjugate base is formed when the negative charge is delocalized or spread out over multiple atoms.
• Resonance: The delocalization of negative charge in the conjugate base increases the acid strength. The number of resonance structures that can be written for a molecule determines the extent of electron delocalization and the stability of the conjugate base.
