The acidity can be determined by the three theories arrenhius, bronsted-lowry and lewis. Key factors that affect the stability of the conjugate base are electronegativty ,size and resonance.

Dear Aditya
 
Inductive effect in simple terms is the result of permanet dipole produced due to polarity of the sigma bond developed due to difference in electronegativity.This causes a permanent state of bond polarization, where the more electronegative atom has a slight negative charge (δ–) and the other atom has a slight positive charge (δ+)for ex:-The more electronegative atom pulls the electrons in the bond towards itself creating some bond polarity for example the O-H and C-Cl bonds in the following examplesCH3OH and CH3Clin the first example O acquires – charge and H acquires +1 chargein the second example c=+charge and Cl=-ve charge RegardsArun (askIITians forum expert)
