Arrange the following in increasing order of acidic charater.

- A I < II < III < IV
- B I < IV < II < III
- C IV < III < II < I
- D II < III < IV < I
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…

- Assertion (A) Propene on addition with hydrogen bromide in the presence of peroxide gives 1-bromopropane as the major product.
Reason (R) l-bromopropane is the major product because it is formed through the stable carbocation.
