1.

Distinguish :Inductive effect and resonance effect

Answer»

Inductive effect :

1. Presence of polar covalent bond is required. 

2. The polarity is induced in adjacent carbon- carbon single (covalent) bond due to a presence of influencing group (more electronegative atom than carbon). 

3. Depending on the nature of influencing group it is differentiated as +I effect and -I effect.

4. The direction of the arrow head denotes the direction of the permanent electron displacement.

Resonance effect :

1. Presence of conjugated n electron system or species having an atom carrying p orbital attached to a multiple bond is required. 

2. The polarity is produced in the molecule by the interaction of conjugated π bonds (or that between π bond and p orbital on the adjacent atom). 

3. Depending on the nature of influencing group it is differentiated as +R and -R effect. 

4. The delocalisation of n electrons is denoted by using curved arrows.
