Which one of the following is not true regarding electromeric effect?

  1. A It is a temporary effect
  2. B It operates on multiple bonds
  3. C It requires an attacking reagent
  4. D It results in the appearance of partial charges on the carbon atoms
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) It results in the appearance of partial charges on the carbon atoms

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In electromeric effect, there is complete transfer of \(\pi\)-electrons from one atom to other to produce temporary polarity on atoms joined by multiple bonds.



Therefore, there is no required partial charge on substrate (i.e., C-atoms).
