|
Answer» The polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electron present on an adjacent atom. There are two types of resonance effect: (1) Positive resonance effect: In this effect the transfer of electrons is away from an atom or substituent group attached to the conjugated system. The atoms or groups which shows +R effect are halogens,-OH , -OR,- NH2 (2) Negative resonance effect: In this effect the transfer of electrons is towards the atom or substituent group attached to the conjugated system. The atoms or groups which shows -R effect are –COOH , -CHO , -CN |
