Solution

Dear Student, The order of acidic strength is water > alcohol > Alkene. Reason: Water is HOH and alcohol is ROH. R group has +I effect because of which electronegativity of oxygen is decreased and hence acidic character decreases. Alkene has H attached to carbon which us less electronegative than O. So it is least acidic. Regards
