Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of acidity. (i)CH_(3) CH (Br) CH_(2) COOH (ii)CH_(3) CH_(2) CH (Br) COOH (iii)CH_(3) CH_(2)C (Br)_(2) COOH (iv)CH_(2) Br CH_(2) CH_(2) COOH

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of acidity. (i)CH

1.	Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of acidity. (i)CH_(3) CH (Br) CH_(2) COOH (ii)CH_(3) CH_(2) CH (Br) COOH (iii)CH_(3) CH_(2)C (Br)_(2) COOH (iv)CH_(2) Br CH_(2) CH_(2) COOH
Answer» SOLUTION :` square ` Br group causes polarity . ` square ` As the distance between Br and COOH increases , ` square ` Order of acidity : ` III gt II gt I gt IV ` [Hint:INDUCTIVE effect DECREASES due to polarity ] .
