Final answer:
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.
