Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is an example of a -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: Identify the halogens. The halogens are a group of elements that include Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), and Iodine (I).
  • Step 3: Recognize that all halogens exhibit the -I effect. This means they all pull electrons towards themselves.
  • Step 4: Note that among the halogens, Fluorine (F) is the strongest -I group, meaning it pulls electrons the most effectively.
  • Step 5: Conclude that any of the halogens (-F, -Cl, -Br, -I) can be considered an example of a -I group.
