Interpretation:
The reason for hydroxyl
Concept Introduction:
Acidity is defined as the property to accept electrons or tendency to donate hydrogen ion from the molecule. Compounds having higher tendency to donate hydrogen ion is more acidic than the compounds having less tendency to donate hydrogen ion.
Electronegativity i s a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Electronegative of hybrid orbitals depends upon the
The acidity depends upon the electronegativity of an atom. More the electronegativity more the acidity.
