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

Explanation: An element is represented in the form of _{A}^{Z}\textrm{X} where,

X = Symbol of the element

A = Atomic Mass of the element X

Z = Atomic Number of element X

Hence, For the element Justwondoricium,

Symbol = Jw

Atomic number = 120

Atomic Mass = 224

Now, Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of Protons

Number of electrons = 120

Number of Protons = 120

and Atomic Mass = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

Number of neutrons can be calculated as we know atomic mass and number of neutrons, Putting the numbers we get

Number of neutrons = 224 - 120 = 104

The nearest noble gas to the element having atomic number 120 is Oganesson (Og), which has an atomic number of 118, so the next two electrons will be filled in the 8s orbital.

Electronic Configuration of Jw is [Og]8s^2

This electronic configuration lets us know about the location of the element in periodic table.

As the electron is entering the 8th shell, it belongs to the 8th period and as the last electron enters the s-orbital, it belongs to the S-block of the periodic table.

When the s-electrons are 1, it belongs to Group 1.

When the s-electrons are 2, it belongs to Group 2.

As this element has 2 s-electrons, it belongs to the Group 2.
