The correct Question is as follows:
The correct order of + I effect:
(A) -O-> -COO->-CMe3
(B) -CH2D > -CHD2 > -CD3
(C) -CH3 < -CH2Me2 < -CHMe3
(D) -CH3 < -CD3
Solution:
Option (D) -CH3 < -CD3 and Option (C) -CH3 < CH2Me < -CHMe2 is the correct answer.
The positive Inductive Effect or the +I Effect is the tendency of a chemical species to release or donate electrons to the attached Carbon chain.
For example, the methyl (CH3) group is a good electron-donating group.
Let us check the options one by one:
- In option (A), the carbon atom having 3 methyl group in the chain have the most +I effect, So, option (A) is wrong.
- As -H < -D i.e., the electron-donating ability of Hydrogen is lesser than the electron-donating ability of Deuterium, so, the carbon atom with 3 deuterium atoms has the most +I effect. Thus, option (B) is incorrect.
- More the number of methyl groups attached to the central carbon atom, the more will be the +I effect.
- Therefore, option (C) and Option (D) is the correct answers.
