Compare the two protons and shown in the following compound and identify which proton is more acidic.

structure

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Removing puts the negative charge on carbon : structure

Removing puts the negative charge on nitrogen : structure

Carbon and nitrogen are in the same period, so compare electronegativity : nitrogen stabilises the negative charge better. The nitrogen anion is the more stable conjugate base, so the N-H proton is more acidic.
