sir wud u please tell me the general acidic strength order of the followings groups of compounds:
alcohols, phenols, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones, ethers
Dear Anmol,
Acidic strength is mainly the ability to release a proton in a reaction. More stable the resulting product after deprotonation, the more stronger the acid is.
So, the order you asked will be like this,
Ethers<Ketones<Aldehydes<Alcohols<Phenols<Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids & phenols are stabilised by resonance delocalisation of charge after deprotonation. So they're the stronger ones.
