  4. D II < III < IV < I
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) I < IV < II < III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acidic character \(\propto\) stability of conjugate base. tability of anion \(\propto-M \propto-I \propto \frac{1}{+I}\) \(\propto \frac{1}{\text { Hyperconjugation }}\) Mesomeric effect is more than hyperconjugation and \(-M\) effect of \(-\mathrm{NO}_2\) will not operate at…
