Arrange the following groups in order of increasing `+I` effect: `CH_(3)^(-)," "(CH_(3))_(2)CH^(-)," "(CH_(3))_(3)C^(-)` |

Answer» Atoms or groups which release electrons towards a carbon atom are said to have a `+I` effect. Methyl group releases electrons towards carbon, i.e., it has `+I` effect. `+I` effect increases as the number of methyl groups increases. Thus, the order is `underset("(lowest)")(CH_(3)^(-))lt(CH_(3))_(2)CH^(-)lt underset("(highest)")((CH_(3))_(3)C^(-))` |
