Which of the following is less acidic among the given halogen...

Which of the following is less acidic among the given halogen compounds?

Options

  1. ACHF3\mathrm{CHF}_{3}
  2. BCH3\mathrm{CH}_{3}
  3. CCHCl3\mathrm{CHCl}_{3}
  4. DCHBr3\mathrm{CHBr}_{3}

Correct answer

A. CHF3\mathrm{CHF}_{3}

Step-by-step solution

Due to stronger-I-effect of F\mathrm{F} than that of Cl, CHF3\mathrm{CHF}_{3} should be more acidic than CHCl3.\mathrm{CHCl}_{3}. But actually reverse is true. This is due to : CCl3−\mathrm{CCl}_{3}^{-} left after the removal of a proton from CHCl3\mathrm{CHCl}_{3} is stabilised due to presence of dd -orbitals in Cl than: CF3−\mathrm{CF}_{3}^{-} left after the removal of a proton from CHF3\mathrm{CHF}_{3} which is not stabilised due to the absence of dd -orbitals on F\mathrm{F}.
