Explain why orthonitrophenol is more acidic than orthomethoxyphenol? |
Answer» Solution :This is because `_NO_(2)` GROUP has `-1` effect and it decreases electron density around `O-` atom and LOSS of `H-` atom as `H^(+)` is facilitated whereas, `CH_(3)-O-` group has `+I` effect and it increases electron density around `O-` atom, loss of `H-` atom of `-O-H` group as `H^(+)` BECOMES DIFFICULT.
