Which of the following orders is correct regarding the βˆ’I-I effect of the substituents?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
βˆ’NR2<βˆ’OR<βˆ’F- \mathrm{N}{R_2} < - \mathrm{O}R < - \mathrm{F}
Option B (βˆ’NR2<βˆ’OR<βˆ’F-\mathrm{N}{R_2} < -\mathrm{O}R < -\mathrm{F}) is correct because the -I effect (inductive electron-withdrawing effect) increases with increasing electronegativity. Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, which is more electronegative than nitrogen.
