Document Summary

Molecular structure and acidity: equilibrium acidity pka acidities of some. The relative acidities of different acids are commonly measured and cited as pka values, relative to a standard solvent base, often water. These numbers reflect the equilibrium acidities of the acids. An astounding range of acidities is displayed by even rather simple compounds. The table on the right lists some elemental hydrides from groups 4 through 7 of the periodic table. The pka"s determined (or in some cases estimated) for these compounds are shown beneath the formulas. Approximate values for higher members of group 4 and 5 hydrides (e. g. silane and phosphine) have not been reported. Note that these logarithmic numbers encompass nearly sixty powers of ten. This is a greater span than that encompassed by distance measurements starting from the radius of a hydrogen atom and extending to the diameter of the known universe.
