### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Define Inductive Effect** The inductive effect is a permanent effect that involves the displacement of sigma electrons in a molecule due to the presence of electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups. It occurs through the sigma bonds and is classified into two types: - **Negative Inductive Effect (-I)**: This occurs when an electron-withdrawing group (like -NO2, -Cl, -Br, etc.) pulls electron density away from the rest of the molecule. - **Positive Inductive Effect (+I)**: This occurs when an electron-donating group (like -CH3, -C2H5, etc.) pushes electron density towards the rest of the molecule. **Step 2: Define Electromeric Effect** ...
