Arrange the following in increasing order of acidic charater.
Options
- AI < II < III < IV
- BI < IV < II < III
- CIV < III < II < I
- DII < III < IV < I
Correct answer
B. I < IV < II < III
Step-by-step solution
Acidic character stability of conjugate base. tability of anion -M -I 1 +I 1 Hyperconjugation Mesomeric effect is more than hyperconjugation and -M effect of - NO ₂ will not operate at m -position. Correct order is III > II > IV > I.
