For the compound below please determine which of the three protons (a), 

For the compound below please determine which of the three protons (a), (b), or (c) is more acidic using the ARIO rule and explain your reasoning. Note: To answer the question correctly, please draw both Conjugate Base 1 and Conjugate Base 2 and 3. Determine which of the two protons is more acidic using the ARIO rule and explain your reasoning - if the reason is R (number of Resonance Structures) please draw all the resonance structures. Make sure you keep track of all formal charges and lone pairs. bH a H A: Proton (a) is more acidic because of A (atom type and/or size in ARIO) B: Proton (b) is more acidic because of A (atom type and/or size in ARIO) C: Proton (c) is more acidic because of A (atom type and/or size in ARIO) D: Proton (a) is more acidic because of R (number of resonance structures in ARIO) E: Proton (b) is more acidic because of R (number of resonance structures in ARIO) F: Proton (c) is more acidic because of R (number of resonance structures in ARIO) G: Proton (a) is more acidic because of I (induction in ARIO) H: Proton (b) is more acidic because of I (induction in ARIO) I: Proton (c) is more acidic because of I (induction in ARIO) G: Proton (a) is more acidic because of O (orbital type in ARIO) K: Proton (b) is more acidic because of O (orbital type in ARIO) L: Proton (c) is more acidic because of O (orbital type in ARIO) QA O O O B D E F OI OJ OK OH OL
