18.4 Chemical Properties
Acidity is relative case with which it loses a proton leaving behind the anion. Its acid strength depends upon the difference in the stability of the acid and its anion.
both acid and its anion are stabilized by resonance, stabilization is far greater for the anion than for acid because anion gives two identical resonating structure.
