Which one of the following orders is correct regarding the - I effect of the substituents?(a) -NR2 < -OR < -F (b) -NR2 > -OR > -F(c) -NR2 < -OR > -F (d) -NR2 > -OR < -F

Answer»

The correct option is : (a) -NR2 < -OR < -F 

Explanation:

The electronegativity of F, O, and N follows the order: N < O < F

Therefore the negative inductive effect of - NR2, -OR and -F follow.s the order:

-NR2 < -OR < - F
