Consider the base hydroxylamine, NH2OH.
(a) What is the conjugate acid of hydroxylamine?
(b) When it acts as a base, which atom in hydroxylamine accepts a proton?
(c) There are two atoms in hydroxylamine that have nonbonding electron pairs that could act as proton acceptors. Use Lewis structures and formal charges to rationalize why one of these two atoms is a much better proton acceptor than the other.
