Inductive Influence on Stability of Molecules
According to the inductive effect, the stability of the resultant molecule is strongly dependent on the charge on a particular atom as well as the charge on a group that is bound to the atom.
A group that exhibits the -I effect can be linked to a positively charged atom to reduce the stability of the resultant molecule by amplifying its positive charge. However, when an atom with a negative charge is added to a group that exhibits the -I effect, the charge difference is substantially reduced, and the new molecule would be stable due to the inductive effect.
Inductive Effect
Inductive Effect occurs when a molecule experiences an uneven distribution of bonding electrons, leading to the formation of a permanent dipole in that molecule. This redistribution of electrons is caused due to electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups in the molecule.
Let’s discuss more about inductive effect, types of inductive effect, inductive effect on acidity and basicity, and the difference between inductive effect and electrometric effect.
