    NH2- vs. H-: Electronegativity and Basicity

    Thanks for the answer, but speaking strictly based on structure, how would we determine this?

    Which end of glycine would be more basic?

    What I'd like to know is how do I determine which is more protonable, without memorizing pka's.

    NH2- vs. H-: Electronegativity and Basicity

    Why is NH2- a stronger base than H-. I would think that due to N's greater electronegatavity, it would want to hold on to its electrons more, making it less basic.

    Which end of glycine would be more basic?

    I had a question given, regarding the basicity of certain sites on a molecule. For example, glycine: How would you determine whether the OH end or the NH2 end would be more "basic", or the first to get protonated?

    Atomic Orbitals vs. Molecular Orbitals and Hybridization

    Hey everyone! I was wondering, when orbitals are hybridized, new hybrid Atomic Orbitals (AO) are formed. Now, when these hybrid atomic orbotals bond with another atomic orbitals, are molecular orbitals formed? For example, when 2 Hydrogens bond to form H2, the 1s orbitals overlap to form 2...
