Which of the following atoms/groups exerts `-I` effect when attached to a carbon atom?A. `-NH_(2)`B. `-F`C. `-NO_(2)`D. all of these |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D The inductive effect of a substituent affects the charge or electron density on `C` Electronegative groups such as halogens tend to withdraw electron density from `C` whereas electropositive groups such as alkyl groups tend to increase its electron density. The effect is transmitted through the chain of `sigma` bonds and diminished with increasing chain length. All these substituents exert`-I` effect as they are more electronegative than the `H` atom. |
