Solution
Inductive effect:
Whenever an electron-releasing or electron-drawing entity is inserted into an atom chain (typically a carbon chain), the atoms that belong to it convey the associated negative or positive charge across the carbon chain.
The creation of a constant dipole in the molecule causes the inductive effect.
Negative Inductive Effect:
Whenever an electronegative component, such as a halogen, is introduced into a chain of atoms (often carbon atoms), the imbalanced sharing of electrons yielded a positive charge that is carried throughout the chain.
The ensuing action is known as the electron-withdrawing inductive effect, or the -I effect, since it causes the formation of an irreversible dipole in the molecule, with the electronegative atom carrying a negative charge.
Arranging in the order of negative inductive effect:
The lower the pull of the negative Inductive effect, the higher the electronegativity of the functional group linked.
