Here is the structure of methyl orange in acidic solution: http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/features/images/methylorangeacidic.gifMethyl orange in acidic solution. Click the image for a 3D Chime structure. The molecule absorbs blue-green light, which makes its solution appear red. Notice that the nitrogen bearing the positive charge is involved in a double bond. In the basic form of methyl orange, a hydrogen ion is lost from the -NN- bridge between the rings, and the electrons formerly used to bind the hydrogen neutralize the positive charge on the terminal nitrogen, so that it is no longer able to pi-bond. Solutions of the methyl orange appear yellow in alkaline solution. http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/features/images/methylorangebasic.gifMethyl orange in basic solution.
