Question

What is Inductive effect? Explain acidic character of acids on the basis of inductive effect
.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In acids, the electron-releasing inductive effect of the alkyl group increases the electron density on oxygen and thus hinders the breaking of the O-H bond, which consequently reduces the ionization. Due to its greater ionization, formic acid (pKa=3.74) is stronger than acetic acid (pKa=4.76). hope it will be helpful to you

Answer 2

In acids, the electron-releasing inductive effect of the alkyl group increases the electron density on oxygen and thus hinders the breaking of the O-H bond, which consequently reduces the ionization. Due to its greater ionization, formic acid (pKa=3.74) is stronger than acetic acid (pKa=4.76)

An inductive effect is an electronic effect due to the polarisation of σ bonds within a molecule or ion. Positive inductive effect refers to electron releasing tendency of functional groups. For example, alkyl, aryl, metals, etc. Negative inductive effect refers to electron accepting tendency of functional groups
