Which of the following groups is a strong electron-donating group?
  1. –NO2
  2. –OH
  3. –CN
  4. –COOH

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following groups is a strong electron-donating group?
  • Step 1: Understand what an electron-donating group is. It is a part of a molecule that can donate electrons to another part of the molecule.
  • Step 2: Identify the –OH group, which is known as a hydroxyl group.
  • Step 3: Learn about the resonance effect. The –OH group can share its electrons with the rest of the molecule through resonance.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the ability to share electrons makes the –OH group a strong electron-donating group.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the –OH group has a +M effect, meaning it donates electrons effectively.
