`(CH_(3))_(3) C- OH (ii) (CH_(3))_(2) CH - OH`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`

A

(iii) `lt ` (ii) `lt`( i)

B

(ii) `lt` (i) `lt` (iii)

C

(i) `lt` (ii) `lt` (iii)

D

(iii) `lt ` (i) `lt` (ii)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
More the number of methyl of methyl groups (electron releasing )lesser will be the acidity. Hence the reactivity towards sodium metal will be tert. `lt sec lt pri`
