The correct Answer is:
To determine the decreasing -I (negative inductive) effect of the given groups (CN, NO2, NH2, and F), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the -I Effect The -I effect refers to the electron-withdrawing ability of substituents. Groups that have a strong -I effect pull electron density away from the rest of the molecule, leading to a partial positive charge on the adjacent carbon atoms. ### Step 2: Identify the Groups The groups provided are: 1. CN (Cyano group) 2. NO2 (Nitro group) 3. NH2 (Amino group) 4. F (Fluorine) ### Step 3: Analyze Each Group's -I Effect - **CN (Cyano group)**: This group has a strong -I effect due to the electronegativity of nitrogen and the triple bond with carbon, making it a strong electron-withdrawing group. - **NO2 (Nitro group)**: This group is also a very strong -I group because of the presence of multiple electronegative oxygen atoms and resonance structures that stabilize the electron-withdrawing effect. - **F (Fluorine)**: Although fluorine is highly electronegative, it has a weaker -I effect compared to CN and NO2 because it can also exhibit a +I effect due to its lone pairs. - **NH2 (Amino group)**: This group has a +I effect due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen, which can donate electron density. Therefore, it has the least -I effect among the groups listed. ### Step 4: Arrange the Groups in Decreasing Order of -I Effect Based on the analysis: 1. NO2 (strongest -I effect) 2. CN 3. F 4. NH2 (weakest -I effect) Thus, the decreasing order of -I effect is: **NO2 > CN > F > NH2** ### Final Answer The decreasing -I effect of the given groups is: **NO2 > CN > F > NH2** ---
