A) \[c<a<b\]
B) \[b<c<a\]
C) \[a<b<a\]
D) \[a<c<b\]
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] Electron releasing groups \[(-C{{H}_{3}},-OC{{H}_{3}},-NC{{H}_{3}}etc)\] intensify the negative charge of phenoxide ion, i.e., destablises it hence decreases ionization of parent phenol, therefore decreases acidity. While electron withdrawing groups \[\left( -N{{O}_{2}}\text{,}-COOH,-CHO\text{ }etc. \right)\] increases acidity.You need to login to perform this action.
