What is the primary effect of the inductive effect in organic compounds?
Correct Answer: Inductive effect stabilizes positive charges.
- Step 1: Understand that the inductive effect is about how electrons move in a molecule.
- Step 2: Recognize that this movement happens through sigma bonds, which are the single bonds between atoms.
- Step 3: Know that when there is a positive charge in a molecule, the inductive effect helps to stabilize that charge.
- Step 4: Realize that stabilizing the positive charge makes the molecule more stable overall.
