Inductive Effect in Carboxylic Acids
Inductive effect in carboxylic acids refers to the transmission of charge through a chain of atoms, influenced by differences in electronegativity. Inductive effect plays a crucial role in determining the acidity of carboxylic acids by either stabilizing or destabilizing the carboxylate ion formed when a carboxylic acid donates a proton (H⁺). Understanding the Inductive Effect in … Read more
