Question:
Which of the following compound is most acidic ?
Which of the following compound is most acidic ?
Updated On: Apr 13, 2024
- $Cl-CH_2-CH_2-OH$
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
When electron withdrawing groups are attached at ortho or para-positions of phenol/carboxylic acid, they inerease the acidic nature.
$As - NO _{2}$ is a strong electron withdrawing group. It pulls the electron density towards itself, weakens the $-$ OH bond. Hence, increases the acidic nature.

Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers
Alcohol is formed when a saturated carbon atom bonds to a hydroxyl (-OH) group. It is an organic compound that contains a hydroxyl functional group attached to a carbon atom.
Phenol is formed when the -OH group replaces the hydrogen atom in benzene. It is an organic compound in which a hydroxyl group directly attaches to an aromatic hydrocarbon.
Ether is formed when oxygen atom bonds to two alkyl or aryl groups. It is an organic compound that has an oxygen atom that is connected to two aryl and alkyl groups.
