Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

- I group increases acidity of the compound whereas + I group reduces acidity. At m-position with respect to - OH, the nitro group increases the acidity lesser than that of at Ortho and Para-positions. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/bd277d8f6375eab9502f70a04943031e-.png" />
