Q. Explain the term Electromeric effects.
Electrometric effect: It involves the complete transfer of the shared pair of π-electrons to either of the two atoms linked by multiple bonds in the presence of an attacking agent. For example,
Electrometric effect could be + E effect or – E effect:
+ E effect: When the electrons are transferred towards the attacking reagent
– E effect: When the electrons are transferred away from the attacking reagent
