As we will see in chapter 11 when we begin the study of reactions involving carbonyl groups, this interaction has the very important effect of increasing the polarity of the carbon-oxygen double bond....As we will see in chapter 11 when we begin the study of reactions involving carbonyl groups, this interaction has the very important effect of increasing the polarity of the carbon-oxygen double bond. While it is important to be familiar with the Lewis definition, the focus throughout the remainder of this chapter will be on acid-base reactions of the Brønsted-Lowry type, where an actual proton transfer event takes place.
