Answer 1

Rank the following compound in order of increasing acidity, Br By Br U Br Answer. BRAKE We know that, factors affecting the shength of cuid ] Charge 27 The role of the atom 3] Resonance effect 4] Inductive effect 5 Orbitals I By tooking the compounds A, B.E only difference is the attachment of bromine. In all the above compound cuidic proton is the proton which attach to wearly Beygen. OR (proton of the comboseylic auid).

Here Inductive effect is the major/main. difference in the three compounds. Inductive effect exerts by the Bromide. (Br) In compound; c. - I effect of bromine is more CB Conjugate base of compound "c' is more stable I effect of Bromine is more at (at alpha carbon. Here electronegative element Bromine is attach to alpha carbon. In compound, A. C.B. conjugate base of compound Al is less stable than conjugare base of compound co Because Bromine cattach to ß-carbon to earboney are group.

In compound, B. 6.B Conjugate base of compound B is less stable um conjugate base of compound 'A' and och of bromine cet d-carbon is very- - I effect very less. Therefore acidity eder. and is more acidic than Als more acidic than o B.
