  1. -CH3
  2. -OH
  3. -NO2
  4. -COOH

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following groups is known for its +I effect?
  • Step 1: Understand what +I effect means. It refers to the ability of a group to donate electron density to the rest of the molecule.
  • Step 2: Identify the group in the question. In this case, we are looking at -CH3 (methyl group).
  • Step 3: Recognize that -CH3 has carbon and hydrogen atoms, which can push electron density towards other parts of the molecule.
  • Step 4: Conclude that since -CH3 donates electron density, it is known for its +I effect.
