Single Choice

The electromeric effect in organic compounds is a:

Atemporary effect
Correct Answer
Bpermanent effect
Ctemporary or permanent effect
Dall of the above

Solution

The instantaneous formation of a dipole in the molecule of an organic compound due to the complete transfer of shared pi electron pairs to one of the atoms under the influence of an attacking reagent is referred to as the Electromeric effect.

The electromeric effect is a temporary effect that remains as long as the attacking reagent is present and exposed to the organic compound. Once this attacking reagent is removed from the system, the molecule that was polarized goes back to its original state.

Option A is correct
