Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the inductive effect?
Step 1: Understand what the inductive effect is. It refers to the permanent shift of electron density in a molecule due to the electronegativity of atoms.
Step 2: Identify the characteristics of the inductive effect. It is permanent, weakens with distance, and is not reversible.
Step 3: Determine which characteristic is NOT true about the inductive effect. Since it is permanent and not reversible, the characteristic that it is reversible is NOT true.
