The Lewis structure is written for each reactant and product, showing all valence
electrons on reacting atoms. The use of a curved arrow can show the transfer of a
proton from an acid to a base. The tail is located at an electron pair (lone or
bonding) and the head of the arrow shows the new location of the electron pair.
Lewis Structure
Guided Practice:
For each conjugate acid-base pair, identify the first species as an acid or base and
the second species as its conjugate base or conjugate acid. In addition, draw Lewis
structures for each species, showing all valence electrons and any formal charges.

Guided Practice:
Write these reactions as proton-transfer reactions. Label which reactant is the acid
and which is the base, which product is the conjugate base of the original acid, and
which is the conjugate acid of the original base. In addition, write Lewis structures
for each reactant and product, and use curved arrows to show the flow of electrons
in each reaction.

Proton transfer to carbonyl oxygen yields cation A, and to hydroxyl oxygen gives
cation B.
Which is more stable? (Lower energy)
Two place the positive charge on oxygen, and one places it on carbon:
A-1 and A-3 make greater contributions to the hybrid, because all atoms have
complete octets.
A-2 makes the carbonyl carbon have an incomplete octet.
Protonation on hydroxyl oxygen gives cation B:
OH
NH 2
HCl
Structures A-1 and A-3 make the greater contributions to the hybrid because all
atoms in each have complete octets; A-3 makes a greater contribution than A-1
because it has the positive charge on the less electronegative atom.
There are 2 contributing structures that can be drawn for cation B:
