    option D is correct

    eduncle-logo-app

    it has the lowest pka value

    eduncle-logo-app

    As it is most acidic

    eduncle-logo-app

    So more the acidity lesser is the pka

    eduncle-logo-app

    I hope you got this

    eduncle-logo-app

    please ask if you don't get

    eduncle-logo-app

    I was asking when to check for annelation effect bcoz these are showing annelation effect c and d. still more acidic

    eduncle-logo-app

    Annelation effect is sharing of resonance. So completely resonance vs sharing of resonance is compared.

    eduncle-logo-app

    Here aromaticity is in pictures

    eduncle-logo-app

    a & b don't get aromaticity character

    option D

    eduncle-logo-app

    it is planar molecule due to restricted rotation of benzene rings. and have maximum resonance

    eduncle-logo-app

    comp. B also have planar shaped but less resonance than D

    eduncle-logo-app

    comp. A and C are non planar due to bulky rings

    eduncle-logo-app

    so resonance is not possible in A and C.

    eduncle-logo-app

    compound A is found in propeller shape

    eduncle-logo-app

    check it

    eduncle-logo-app

    got it?

    eduncle-logo-app

    hope this will help you 🙏🙏

    eduncle-logo-app

    annelation effect is taking place in D na

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes, but we will compair with other aromatic compounds also but you can see that other compounds given here are non planar (except B, it is non aromatic)

    eduncle-logo-app

    so annelation effect us not dominant here. here we will check only resonance. D is planar having maximum resonance

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir then when to check annelation?

    eduncle-logo-app

    when other compounds also sho annelation effect. so we can compair between them

    eduncle-logo-app

    if one molecule is showing annelation effect and other is not showing, then we will make non annelation one more acidic na?

    eduncle-logo-app

    no, we will check other factors just like this question

    eduncle-logo-app

    among C and D which one more acidic and why?

    eduncle-logo-app

    D is more acidic because C is non planar so due to lack of resonance it is less stable so less acidic than D which is planar and have resonance

    Option D has lowest pka value since it is most acidic

    eduncle-logo-app

    After deprotonation carabnion is formed which in the case of option D is more resonance stabilosed ...so most acidic

    eduncle-logo-app

    For option B it is in resonance with only two benzene ring and carbanion is not as much stabilised as like other compound in diff options

    eduncle-logo-app

    So option D is correct

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir but annnelation effect is taking place at D na?
