Recall that a bronciid Laric acid is a compound that is capable of donating NH plus ion. So we want to figure out which one of these compounds is better at donating NH plus atom. So let's look at reaction one. In reaction one, we have a methane molecule or a methane compound dissociating or donating NH plus atom and also creating a methion anion. So this method has a net charge of negative one because it has a lone pair of electrons, non bonding electrons found on the carbon. So let's look at reaction two in reaction to our acetylene, dissociates into an H plus atom, and it also creates an anion called acetylene.
