Which one of the following is correct order ?(a) —OH > —OR (order of –I effect)(b) —CH3 > —CO3 > CCl3 (order of +I effect)(c) —F > —OH > —NH2 (order of –I effect)(d) —NO — SO2R—SO3H—NO2 (set of meta directors) |

Answer» Correct option (c) —F > —OH > —NH2 (order of –I effect) Explanation: Problem is based on concept of inductive effect and electronegativity of element. As F is most electronegative element with smallest size rather than —OH and —NH2 where O and N has larger size as well as lower electronegative than F. —F —OH —NH2 Electronegativity decreases → inductive effect decreases → Hence, correct order is (c) While all other are conceptually very wrong |
