Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
In which C–C bond of CH3CH2CH2Br, the inductive effect is expected to be the least?
ChemistryGeneral Organic ChemistryNEET
Options:
  • A All the carbons experience same level of Inductive effect
  • B Magnitude of inductive effect increases as the number of intervening bonds increases. Hence, the effect is least in the bond between carbon-1[as per IUPAC] and hydrogen
  • C No Inductive effect is shown by the compounds given
  • D Magnitude of inductive effect diminishes as the number of intervening bonds increases. Hence, the effect is least in the bond between carbon-3[as per IUPAC] and hydrogen

The correct answer is: Magnitude of inductive effect diminishes as the number of intervening bonds increases. Hence, the effect is least in the bond between carbon-3[as per IUPAC] and hydrogen
Correct Option is : (D)
Magnitude of inductive effect diminishes as the number of intervening bonds increases. Hence, the effect is least in the bond between carbon-3[as per IUPAC] and hydrogen
