Question

If resonance increases what happens to acidic strength

Answer 1

If resonance stabilizes the deprotonated form, it increases the acid strength (e.g., carboxylate ion shows more resonancestabilization than carboxylic acid). If the protonated form has more resonancestabilization, it decreases the acid strength.

Answer 2

If resonance stabilizes the deprotonated form, it increases the acid strength (e.g., carboxylate ion shows more resonance stabilization than carboxylic acid). If the protonated form has more resonance stabilization, it decreases the acid strength.
