NEETChemistryAldehydes and Ketones
Arrange the following in decreasing order of their acidic strength. Give explanation for the arrangement. C 6 H 5 COOH, FCH 2 COOH, NO 2 CH 2 COOH
Options
- ANO 2 CH 2 COOH > FCH 2 COOH > C 6 H 5 COOH due to electron withdrawing effect of the groups present.
- BFCH 2 COOH > NO 2 CH 2 COOH > C 6 H 5 COOH due to electron withdrawing effect of the groups present.
- CFCH 2 COOH > C 6 H 5 COOH > NO 2 CH 2 COOH due to resonance stabilization
- DNO 2 CH 2 COOH > C 6 H 5 COOH > FCH 2 COOH due to resonance stabilization
Correct answer
A. NO 2 CH 2 COOH > FCH 2 COOH > C 6 H 5 COOH due to electron withdrawing effect of the groups present.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) NO 2 CH 2 COOH > FCH 2 COOH > C 6 H 5 COOH due to electron withdrawing effect of the groups present.
