Answers

Answered by abhinav2727

Since they are directly bonded to O which is highly electronegative. It shifts electron cloud to itself making H acidic.

Answered by BrainlyBAKA

Alpha hydrogen are those hydrogens which are attached to the alpha carbon abd alpha carbon is that carbon which is attached to the functional group.

hope this helps you ☺️
