A proton transfer reaction can involve a positively charged substance as the source of the proton. a. This is the structure of protonated acetone. Consider all bonds involving hydrogen atoms, and label those that is/are polar using the partial charge notation described in chapter 2 (note that a formal charge on an atom does not necessarily denote the partial charge distribution in a bond). Then, put in the given box the label of the hydrogen atom that is most electron-poor. Most electron-poor hydrogen \( \left(\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{a}}\right. \) or \( \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{b}} \) ?): b. A proton transfer reaction can occur from protonated acetone to water. In the box on the left, circle the atom in water that is most electron-rich. In the box on the right, use curved arrows to show the mechanism of the proton transfer reaction based on the sample proton transfer reaction shown in the textbook. Then, draw the products of the reaction (Lewis structures or line structures accepted). Do not draw the transition state. \( \mathrm{H}^{*} \mathrm{O} \) Show curved arrows Draw products here
