For each of the following substituents, indicate whether it withdraws electrons inductively, donates electrons by hyperconjugation, withdraws electrons by resonance, or donates electrons by resonance. (Effects should be compared with that of a hydrogen; remember that many substituents can be characterized in more than one way.)
a. Br
b. CH2CH3
c. NHCH3
d. OCH3

a. withdraws electrons inductively

b. donates electrons by hyperconjugation

c. donates electrons by resonance

d.  withdraws electrons inductively

Explanation:

a.  The bromide ion is a highly electronegative ion (in the halide series). Electronegative substituents on acids increase the acidity by inductive electron withdrawal method. The higher the electronegativity of a substance, the greater the acidity. The halogens have this order of electronegativity:

F > Cl > Br>I

b.  The carboxyl groups have a stabilization of the sigma and pi bonds. This is achieved through a special delocalization of electrons.  Because of the delocalization, hyperconjugation is the result effect.

c. The NHCH₃ group has a highly electonegative nitrogen atom that pulls the electron cloud towards itself. In this case, it withdraws electrons inductively. As a result, it donates electrons by resonance.

d. The OCH₃ group has a highly electonegative oxygen atom. This oxygen atom withdraws electron cloud towards itself. As a result, it withdraws electrons inductively.
