Answer:

(a) > (d) > (c) > (b)

Explanation:

Acidic character is based upon inductive effect of the functional group that are attached to parent chain.

1. Nitro is a -I group which makes phenol acidic due to increased resonance,  2. bromine is a -I group but it is weaker than nitro group

3. phenol is more acidic than cyclohexanol due to resonance stabilization of resonance and among halogen F>Cl>Br>I is the order of acidity

4. cyclohexanol will be weakest as  it is not associated with any -I groups here.

so the order of acidity will be

(a). 4-nitropheno >  (d). 4-bromophenol > (c). 2,6-difluorocyclohexanol  >               (b). cyclohexanol

Which is more stable: neutral chlorine atoms or chlorine ions? Why?​
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

When we say "chlorine wants to gain one electron", we speak of the radical atom. Chlorine as a free radical, Cl⋅ , is the chlorine atom that we say has 7 valence electrons and wants its 8th to form an octet. So, Cl⋅ , chlorine radical, is less stable, and Cl− , chlorine ion, is more stable

Could a man with type B blood and a woman with type AB produce a child with type O blood?
Luda [366]

Answer:

The possible genotypes of a man with blood type B are BB or BO and the genotype of a woman with blood type AB is AB. The child would receive an A allele or a B allele from the mother and a B allele or an O allele from the father. Therefore, the child could not possibly be of blood type O.
