    				| 1. | Mark the correct order of decreasing acid strength of the following compounds A. `(V)gt(IV)gt(II)gt(I)gt(III)`B. `(II)gt(IV)gt(I)gt(III)gt(V)`C. `(IV)gt(V)gt(III)gt(II)gt(I)`D. `(V)gt(IV)gt(III)gt(II)gt(I).` | 
| Answer» Correct Answer - B It is the correct order of decreasing acidic strength `-NO_(2)` group being electron withdrawing in nature, increasing acidic strenght. Its effect is more pronounced at the para position than at the meta position. Similarly `-OCH_(3)` group is electron releasing in nature and decreases acidic strength. its effect is more pronounced at teh para position as compared to meta position. | |
