Comprehension–1 for Q. No. 23 to 25

In a covalent single bond between unlike atoms, the electron pair forming the σ bond is never shared
absolutely equally between the two atoms; it tends to be attracted a little more towards the more
electronegative atom of the two. This is generally represented as

If the carbon atom bonded to chlorine is itself attached to further carbon atoms, the effect can be
transmitted further as

The effect of C1 on C2 is less than the effect of C2 on C3 ; however, the transmission quickly dies away in
a saturated chain, usually being too small to be noticeable beyond C2 . These influences on the electron
distribution in σ bonds are known as inductive effects. Electron releasing groups w.r.t. the hydrogen atom
are known to have +I effect and electron withdrawing groups are known to have –I effect. Electron
donating group increases the stability of carbocation and withdrawing group increases the stability of
carbanion.
