Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Which one of the following is NOT true regarding electromeric effect ?
A
It results in the appearance of partial charges on the carbon atoms
B
It is a temporary effect
C
It operates on multiple bonds.
D
It requires an attacking reagent.
Answer
It results in the appearance of partial charges on the carbon atoms
Explanation
Solution
In electromeric effect, there is complete transfer of π -electrons from one atom to other to produce temporary polarity on atoms joined by multiple bonds. 
Therefore, there is no required partial charge on substrate (i.e., C-atoms).
