    The correct order of acidic strength of following
    I. \[F-C{{H}_{2}}-COOH\]
    II.\[Cl-C{{H}_{2}}-COOH\]
    III. \[Br-C{{H}_{2}}-COOH\]

    A)  \[I>II>III\]        

    B)  \[III>II>I\]

    C)  \[II>III>I\]       

    D)  \[II>I>III\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     On increasing\[-I\]effect of R group, the acidic strength of carboxylic acid increases. Hence increasing order of acidic strength is \[F-C{{H}_{2}}COOH>Cl-C{{H}_{2}}COOH>Br\]\[-C{{H}_{2}}COOH\] \[I>II>III\]
