Which among the following is incorrect statement?
General Organic Chemistry (GOC) · Class 11 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
Which among the following is incorrect statement?
- a
Electromeric effect dominates over inductive effect
- b
The electromeric effect is temporary effect
- c
The organic compound shows electromeric effect in the presence of the reagent only
- d✓
H⁺ shows negative electromeric effect
H⁺ shows negative electromeric effect
Step 1: Analyzing the Electromeric Effect The electromeric effect is temporary and occurs in the presence of a reagent.
- +E effect: Electrons move toward the reagent (occurs with electrophiles like ).
- -E effect: Electrons move away from the reagent (occurs with nucleophiles like ).
Step 2: Finding the Incorrect Statement is an electrophile, so it induces a positive (+E) effect. Saying it shows a negative effect is incorrect.
