Question for any of you great chem people...
In section 10.9, I am wondering why solvation would stabilize an
alkoxide ion, because doesn't that mean it's creating a - charge? Why
would this be more stable than when it's neutral? Or am I just thinking
wrong? I'm confused on this part, so any help would be great! Hope all
your Thanksgivings were wonderful!
