Arranging Acidity and Basicity in Organic Compounds: Tips for Quick Sequencing

[pink_ele]

i face difficulty in Q where we hav to arrange compounds/aromatic compounds in increasing order of acidity r basicity,please tell me easy way to solve such arranging sequences Q quickly.

Can't be done unless we know the compounds...

A rough guide to organic molecules: things like carboxylic acids, are obviously acidic. When you see nitrogens in organic molecules think basic. Other than that it is hard to tell basicity/acidity without seeing the molecule.

you also have to consider atoms such as chlorine which induce a -I effect on a benzene ring affecting basicty...
