Acidic nature propto electron withdrawing group (-R, -I) α (1/e l e c t r o n r e l e a s i n g g r o u p (. + R , + I .)) The correct order of acidic nature is given as follows <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-fhx9arc689pw.png" />

Q. Given are cyclohexanol (I), acetic acid (II), 2, 4, 6- trinitrophenol (III) and phenol (IV). In these the order of decreasing acidic character will be

III > IV > II > I

III > II > IV > I

II > III > I > IV

II > III > IV > I

Acidic nature $\propto$ electron withdrawing group (-R, -I)

$α \frac{1}{e l ec t ro n re l e a s in gg ro u p ( + R , + I )}$

The correct order of acidic nature is given as follows
