Question

Arrange the following groups in descending order of priority.NH₂, SO₃H, OCH₃. COOH and Cl.

Answer 1

The descending order of the given

Cl, $NH_2$, $OH_3$, $SO_3H$, COOH is the required order.

Explanation:

• Cl will occupy the 1st position due to its negative charge. Compounds like $NH_2$, $OH_3$, $SO_3H$ are appropriately organized because of their priority in the priority list.
• $NH_2$ comes before as it has a higher charge and then all the other compounds follow. Last comes the COOH which is again according to the priority table.
