dinitroparaffin resonance forms shows an increased electron density on nitrogen. This would tend to counterbalance the electronegative effect of the second nitro group. At any rate the considerable variation in values for nitroparaffins is almost entirely due to differences in the acid strengths of the nitro forms. forms of the mononitroparaflins because one of the Charlottesville, Virginia
