P-nitrophenol is a stronger acid than phenol while p-cresol is a weaker acid. Discuss.A. `-CH_(3)` group decreases the electron density on oxygen of O-H group making p-cresol a weaker acidB. `-NO_(2)` group decreases electron density on oxygen of `O - H` group making p-nitrophenol a stronger acidC. `-CH_(3)` group increases the electron density on oxygen of `O -H` group making release of `H^(+)` easierD. `-NO_(2)` group increases the electron density on oxygen of `O - H` group making release of `H^(+)` easier . |
