Solution
The correct option is C−O−>−CH3>−CMe3 (A) Order: −O−>−CH3>−CMe3
This is correct order of inductive effect as inductive effect of electronegative −O− is greater than that of −CH3 and −CMe3 .
(B) Order: −CO−2>−O−>−CHMe2 This is incorrect order because inductive effect of −CO⊝2 is less than that of electronegative −O− .
(C) Order: −O−>−CHMe2>D>H This is incorrect order because inductive effect of H is more than that of D. Because of one extra neutrons size of D is higher than H as a result this increased size reduces electronegativity of D .
