Question

what is inductive effect​

Answer 1

Answer:

Inductive effect: The effect on electron density in one portion of a molecule due to electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups elsewhere in the molecule. The arrow indicates the direction of electron density shift.

Explanation:

In chemistry, the inductive effect is an effect regarding the transmission of unequal sharing of the bonding electron through a chain of atoms in a molecule, leading to a permanent dipole in a bond.

Answer 2

Answer:

In chemistry, the inductive effect in a molecule is a local change in the electron density due to electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups elsewhere in the molecule, resulting in a permanent dipole in a bond. It is present in a σ bond, unlike the electromeric effect which is present in a π bond.
