Question

How many types of inductive effect in organic chemistry

Answer 1

two types ...+I and -I

Answer 2

Inductive effect is classified into two types as follows.-I effect:— Electron withdrawing substituents tend to attract electron pair,due to which carbon to which substituent is attached,carries positive charge.This effect is called as negative inductive effect and the groups which cause this effect are called as -I groups. eg. NO₂, hologens.+I effect:—Electron donating substituents tend to donate shared electron pair towards the carbon to which that group is connected.Hence carbon bears partial negative charge,this is known as positive inductive effect.The groups which cause such effect are called as +I groups.eg. alkyl groups.
