Which is more electronegative -COOH or -COOR ?

Answer»

Some groups, such as the alkyl group, are less electron-withdrawing than hydrogen and are therefore considered as electron-releasing. This is an electron-releasing character and is indicated by the +I effect. In short, alkyl groups tend to give electrons, leading to the induction effect.

Hence COOH is more electronegative.
