how does an electron withdrawing or donating group.......affect acidity of a compound....
wht do these withdrawing and donating mean?
An electron withdrawing group like chlorine and Oxygen have high Electronegativities and tries to pull electrons towards them!
In a compound therefore the bond can break easily..electrons are accepted by the high Electronegativity groups and H+ is easily released...
