What is difference between inductive effect and inductomeric effect?
Answers
☆ Inductive effect ☆
This is effect of electronegativity, transmitted through intermediate sigma bonds. For example, chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid, because the electron pulling effect of Cl stabilises the accumulation of negative charge on the anion.
Electromeric effect
Electromeric effect can be defined as the transfer of electrons from a double bond or an atom with a lone pair of electrons to an adjacent single bond.When the inductive effect and the electromeric effect operate in the same molecule, electromeric effect dominates the inductive effect.
✔️✔️ The electromeric effect is an intramolecular movement of electrons from a pi bond to another atom in the molecule due to attack by a reagent. It is temporary and reversible.
✔️✔️ The inductive effect is a permanent state of polarization. The electron density in a bond between two unlike atoms is not uniform. The electron density is more dense toward the more electronegative of the two atoms
