$-I$ effect

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The $-Cl$ atom is an electron-withdrawing group that exhibits a negative inductive effect ($-I$ effect).When attached to the $\alpha$-carbon of acetic acid,it withdraws electron density through the sigma bond network.This withdrawal decreases the electron density on the oxygen atom of the $-OH$ group,which increases the polarity of the $O-H$ bond.Consequently,the release of the $H^{+}$ ion becomes easier,thereby increasing the acidity of chloroacetic acid compared to acetic acid.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(A)$ Resonance	$(I)$ $C=C + H^+ \rightarrow C^+-C-H$
$(B)$ Inductive effect	$(II)$ $H-CH_2-CH_2^+ \leftrightarrow H-CH_2=CH_2^+$
$(C)$ Electromeric effect	$(III)$ $C_6H_6$
$(D)$ Hyperconjugation	$(IV)$ $CH_3-Z \rightarrow CH_3^- + Z^+$
	$(V)$ $CH_3-CH_2-CH_2Cl$
