JEE MainChemistryBasics of Organic ChemistryMCQ+4 / −1
Which among the following is incorrect statement?
  1. A
    The electromeric effect is, temporary effect
  2. B
    Hydrogen ion (H+)(\mathrm{H}^{+})(H+) shows negative electromeric effect
  3. C
    The organic compound shows electromeric effect in the presence of the reagent only.
  4. D
    Electromeric effect dominates over inductive effect

Correct answer: B

  1. Recall the electromeric effect

    The electromeric effect is the complete transfer of the shared pair of π\piπ-electrons of a multiple bond to one of the bonded atoms, only in the presence of an attacking reagent. It is a temporary effect.

  2. Check each statement

    A: The electromeric effect is, temporary effect
    This is correct because the electromeric effect exists only during the attack of a reagent and disappears when the reagent is removed.

    B: Hydrogen ion (H+)(\mathrm{H}^+)(H+) shows negative electromeric effect
    This is incorrect.
    A positive reagent like H+\mathrm{H}^+H+ attracts the π\piπ-electron pair towards itself. This corresponds to the positive electromeric effect (+E+E+E effect), not negative electromeric effect.

    C: The organic compound shows electromeric effect in the presence of the reagent only.
    This is correct by definition of the electromeric effect.

    D: Electromeric effect dominates over inductive effect
    This is correct because electromeric effect involves complete transfer of π\piπ-electrons and is stronger than the partial displacement seen in the inductive effect.

  3. Conclusion

    The incorrect statement is: B\boxed{\text{B}}B​

  4. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer = B
    Derived answer = B
    Hence, they agree.
