Acidic Powers & Their Orders (Chemistry Fact Sheet- 1)

Acidic power 1.

Order

Why ?

2.

Farther the (I) group (Cl), lesser III < II < I the acidic strength Farther the (+I) I < II < III group, greater the acidic power CH3 is electron donating and II < I < III NO2 is electron attracting

3.

4.

CH3 is electron repelling; II < I < III decreases acidic strength of phenol

5.

OCH3 group contains +M effect III < I < II and decreases acidic poer.

6.

7.

NO2 is electron attracting; III is more resonance stabilised than I I < II < III and also than II. In I, only inductive effect is operative. I > II > III sp2 hybridised carbon of I, II are more electronegative hence acid strength is increased. Benzylic (C6H5CH2) is more stab-ilised than allylic

(CH2==CHCH2).

8.

Effect of one COOH on the other decr-eases I > II > III > as its distance IV between them increases, (COOH)2 is maximum acidic. NO2 is electron II < III < I attracting (I effect) OH shows electron withdrawing nature at o - and m - and electron repelling at p -, o III < II < I - isomer due to intramolecular bonding in salicylate ion is stronger than m isomer III < II < I do I < III < II NH2 is electron donating.
