Given below are two statements : Statement \(I:\) The acidic strength of monosubstituted nitrophenol is higher than phenol because of electron withdrawing nitro group. Statement \(II :\) \(o-\)nitrophenol, \(m\)-nitrophenol and \(p\)-nitrophenol will have same acidic strength as they have one nitro group attached to the phenolic ring. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect.
- B Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect.
- C Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct.
- D Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are correct.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Acidic strength of phenolic group increases due to electron withdrawing groups.
