Explain electron displacement effect in covalent bonds

Answer»

Solution :The electron displacement in an ORGANIC molecule may take place either in the ground STATE under the influence of an atom or a substituent group or in the presence of an appropriate attacking reagent. (i) The electron displacements DUE to the influence of an atom or a substituent group present in the molecule cause permanent polarlisation of the bond. Inductive effect and resonance effects are examples of this type of electron displacemnt.
(II) TEMPORARY electron displacement effects are seen in a molecule when a reagent approaches to attack it. This type of electron displacement is called electromeric effect or polarisability effect.
