(1) When an electron withdrawing (X) or electron-releasing (Y) group is attached to a carbon chain, polarity
is induced on the carbon atom and on the substituent attached to it. This permanent polarity is due to
displacement of shared electron of a covalent bond towards a more electronegative atom. This is called
inductive effect or simply as I - effect.

Free(2) Carbon-hydrogen bond is taken as a standard of inductive effect. Zero effect is assumed for this bond.

Atoms or groups which have a greater electron withdrawing capacity than hydrogen are said to have–I
effect whereas atoms or groups which have a greater electron releasing power are said to have +I effect.

(ii) Reactivity of alkyl halide : +I effect of methyl group enhances – I effect of the halogen atom by
repelling the electron towards tertiary carbon atom.

(a) Any group or atom showing +I effect decreases the acid strength as it increases the negative charge
on the carboxylate ion which holds the hydrogen rmly. Alkyl groups have +I effect.
Formic acid, having no alkyl group, is the most acidic among these acids.
(b) The group or atom having −I effect increases the acid strength as it decreases the negative charge on
the carboxylate ion. Greater is the number of such atoms or groups (having −I effect), greater is the acid
strength.

Hence benzoic acid is stronger acid than aliphatic carboxylic acids but exception is formic acid. Thus,

Acid strength in decreasing order
As compared to water, phenol is more acidic (−I effect) but methyl alcohol is less acidic (+I effect).

The difference in base strength in various amines can be explained on the basis of inductive effect. The +I
effect increases the electron density while −I effect decreases it. The amines are stronger bases than
N H3 as the alkyl groups increase electron density on nitrogen due to +I effect while C lN H2 is less
basic due to −I effect. “So more is the tendency to donate electron pair for coordination with proton, the
more is basic nature, i.e., more is the negative charge on nitrogen atom (due to +I effect of alkyl group), the
more is basic nature”.
The relative basic character of amines is not in total accordance with inductive effect (t > s > p)
Free but it is in the following order: Secondary > Primary > Tertiary. The reason is the steric hindrance
Videos existing in the t-amines.
In gas phase or in aqueous solvents such as chlorobenzene etc, the solvation effect, i.e., the
stabilization of the conjugate acid due to H -bonding are absent and hence in these media the
basicity of amines depends only on the +I effect of the alkyl group thus the basicity of amines
follows the order : 3 o > 2 o > 1 o > N H3 .
(vii) Basicity of alcohols : The decreasing order of base strength in alcohols is due to +I effect of alkyl
groups.
(viii) Stability of carbonium ion : +I effect tends to decrease the (+ve) charge and −I effect tends to
increases the +ve charge on carbocation.
