Among the following, which is least acidic?
- A phenol
- B \(o\)-cresol
- C \(p\)-nitrophenol
- D \(p\)-chlorophenol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(o\)-cresol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Acidic character of organic compound increases with increase in strength of electron withdrawing group and decreases with electron releasing group. In \(o\)-cresol, methyl group show \(+I\)-effect. It increase the density of electron on oxygen atom after the release of…
