3.6 Other Factors

• The stability of conjugate bases was compared in the previous sections.

• You should not think that there are no other factors.
• Other factors can affect the stability of conjugate bases.

• The two conjugate bases should have the same stability if we apply our four factors.

• There will be fewer interactions with the solvent molecule.

• All protons can be given a number that quantifies how acidic they are.

• If you are expected to memorize this chart, your instructor will tell you.

• You should know what the numbers mean.
