Question

what is the effect of the following groups on the acidity of phenol??,, -ch3 group and -no2 group
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The effect of electron donating groups on a phenol is to make it less acidic. For example consider the resonance structures for the following phenoxide: However, if an electron withdrawing group on the ring can further delocalize the negative charge then the anion is more stable and the phenol more acidic.

hope it helps ✌️✌️

Answer 2

The effect of the ch3 group on phenol is that it will decrease the acidity since it is an electron donating group and at the same time, the no2 group will increase the acidic nature of phenol.

Explanation:

• Ch3 is the electron donating group, the shifting of electrons will take place across hydrogen, the negative ions will increase and hence the acidic nature will decrease.
• No2 is an electron withdrawing group and shifts the electrons towards the oxygen group, the acidic nature of phenol will increase.
