Question

Which of the CH3 – CHCl2 and CH3 – CH2 Cl is expected to have stronger –I effect?​

Answer 1

Answer:

CH - CHCl2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\[C{H_3} - CHC{l_2}\]$ have stronger -I effect.

Explanation:

The inductive effect is the change in electrons density between sigma bonds due to the presence of electron-withdrawing groups and electron-donating groups in a molecule. This phenomenon takes place due to the presence of differences in the electronegativity of atoms or groups of atoms. This results in a permanent dipole moment in a molecule.

Here Cl is an electronegative element therefore it will show the -I effect as it is an electron-withdrawing group.

In $\[C{H_3} - CHC{l_2}\]$ 2 Cl is present so it has more -I effect.

Therefore, $\[C{H_3} - CHC{l_2}\]$  will have a stronger -I effect.
