Answered by hetavshah21

A more stabilised alkoxide is a weaker conjugate base and hence the alcoholwill be more acidic. ... For electronic factors, when there are more electron donating alkyl groups attached to the hydroxyl carbon, the electron density on the O atom increases and the alkoxide is consequently less stable.

hetavshah21: pls mark me as beainliest

hetavshah21: brainliest

Maggi05: I don't know how to do that

Hello buddy

As we know that an electron releasing group increase electron density on oxygen tending to decrease polarity of O H bond which decrease the acidic strength...

Hence tertiary alcohol is less acidic in nature..

Hope it helps
