Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques NCERT Solutions | Explain the terms Inductive and Electrom
Explain the terms Inductive and Electromeric effects. Which electron displacement effect explains the following correct orders of acidity of the carboxylic acids?
(a) Cl3CCOOH > Cl2CHCOOH > ClCH2COOH
(b) CH3CH2COOH > (CH3)2CHCOOH > (CH3)3C.COOH
Inductive effect
The permanent displacement of sigma electrons along a saturated chain, whenever an electron withdrawing or electron donating group is present, is called inductive effect.
Inductive effect could be + I effect or - I effect. When an atom or group attracts electrons towards itself more strongly than hydrogen, it is said to possess - I effect. For example,
F —← CH2 —← CH2 —← CH2 —←CH3
When an atom or group of atoms attracts electrons towards itself less strongly than hydrogen, it is said to possess + I effect. For example,
CH3 —→ CH2 →→ -Cl
Electrometric effect
It involves the complete transfer of the shared pair of π-electrons to either of the two atoms linked by multiple bonds in the presence of an attacking agent. For example,
Electrometric effect could be + E effect or - E effect.
+ E effect: When the electrons are transferred towards the attacking reagent
- E effect: When the electrons are transferred away from the attacking reagent
(a) Cl3CCOOH > Cl2CHCOOH > ClCH2COOH
The order of acidity can be explained on the basis of Inductive effect (- I effect). As the number of chlorine atoms increases, the - I effect increases. With the increase in - I effect, the acid strength also increases accordingly.
(b) CH3CH2COOH > (CH3)2 CHCOOH > (CH3)3 C.COOH
The order of acidity can be explained on the basis of inductive effect (+ I effect). As the number of alkyl groups increases, the + I effect also increases. With the increase in + I effect, the acid strength also increases accordingly.
