Question

Guanine has 5 nitrogens. Arrange the indicated nitrogens in decreasing order of basicity (1 = most basic, 3 = least basic).
If there are fewer than 3 nitrogens in the molecule, leave that answer space blank.
If two nitrogens have the same basicity, give them the same number.

Explanation / Answer

7 is more basic because lone pair on Nitrogen in -NH2 is freely available.

3 is more basic compared to 5 because lone pair on Nitogen is not involved in resonance.

Nitrogen 7 = 1 - most basic

Nitrogen 3 = 2

Nitrogen 5 = 3 - least basic
