Which one is more acidic ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to powerful -I-effect of the F-atom, it withdraws electrons from the `overset(+)(N)H_(3)` group. As a result, electron density in the N-H bond of p-fluoroanilium ion decreases and hence release of a proton from p-fluoroanilium ion is much more easier than from anilinium ion. Therefore, p-fluoroanilinium ion is more acidic than anilinium ion.
