Vedclass · Answer

(D) Alcohols are generally neutral or very weakly acidic,whereas phenols are more acidic than alcohols.Electron-withdrawing groups,such as the nitro group $(-NO_2)$,stabilize the phenoxide ion through $-I$ and $-M$ effects,thereby increasing the acidity of the phenol.Since $p-$nitrophenol contains a strong electron-withdrawing $-NO_2$ group at the para position,it exhibits the highest acidic strength among the given compounds.

Identify the compound with the highest acidic strength from the following.
