Which of the following it the most stable acid ?

Answer»

`CH_(2)(F) COOH` <BR>`CH_(2)(Br) COOH`
`CH_(2)(Cl) COOH`
`CH_(2)(I) COOH`

Solution :Electron withdrawing GROUPS or atoms increase the strength of acid. More the elec TRON withdrawing power, more the strength of acid.
In halogens electron withdrawing power is ,
` F gt Cl gt Br Gt I`.
Hence, `CH_(2)ICOOH` is stable acid.
