Answer» Solution :For explanation of the TERMS, N/A (1) The GIVEN sequence of acidity is explained by - effect of CI - atoms. As the number of chlorine atoms DECREASES, the OVERALL - I effect decreases and the acid strenght decreases accordingly.  The given sequence of acidity is explained by + I effect of alkyl groups. As the extent of + I effect of alkyl groups increases, the acid strenght decreases accordingly.
