MCQ
Which one of these shows least $-\ I$ effect :
  • A
    $−\text{OH}_2^+​$
  • B
    $−\text{NH}_3^-​$
  • C
    ​$−\text{NO}_2​$
  • $−\text{F}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$−\text{F}$
Since $+$ charge is more electronegative than neutral atom therefore correct order is
$−\text{OH}_2^+​ ​> −\text{NH}_3^-​ > −\text{NO}_2​ > −\text{F}$. Hence least $−\text{I}$ effect is shown by $−\text{F}$.
