4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
"In addition, the conjugate base of acetic acid is stabilized by resonance. The acidity of acetone, acetyl CoA, and other compounds with C=O double bonds is due to the fact that the conjugate base resulting from loss of H+ is stablized by resonance. In addition, one of the resonance forms stabilizes the negative charge by placing it on an electronegative oxygen atom. Electrostatic potential maps of the conjugate bases from methanol, acetic acid, and acetone are shown in Figure 2.4. As you might expect, all three show a substantial amount of negative charge (red) on oxygen." Not 7 sentences, but I think that's quite enough...
