  2. -CH3
  3. -OCH3
  4. -Br

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following groups is a strong -I group?
  • Step 1: Understand what a -I group is. A -I group is an electron-withdrawing group that pulls electrons away from other parts of a molecule.
  • Step 2: Learn about electronegativity. Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly an atom attracts electrons.
  • Step 3: Identify the -I groups. Common -I groups include F (fluorine), Cl (chlorine), Br (bromine), and I (iodine).
  • Step 4: Compare the electronegativity of these groups. Fluorine (F) has the highest electronegativity compared to the other halogens.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since F is the most electronegative, it is a strong -I group.
