Which of the following represents the correct order of the acidity in the given compounds ?
- AFCH2COOH > CH3COOH > BrCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH
- BBrCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > FCH2COOH > CH3COOH
- CFCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > BrCH2COOH > CH3COOH
- DCH3COOH > BrCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > FCH2COOH
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Acidity decreases as the –I effect of the group
decreases, F is the most electronegative atom and
hence it has highest –I effect among the halogens.
FCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > BrCH2COOH > CH3COOH
