30 pts OJugation effect like resonance effect (as discussed under nitrphcnols) cannot opCrate at m-position ucrctorC, m-cresol is more acidic than o- andp-cresols. Out of o-and p-cresols, p-cresol is Inore acidic than o-cresol due to field effect which makes the loss of a proton little more difficult. Thus, the overall acidic strength of cresols relative to phenols decreascs in the order Phenol> m-Cresolp-Cresol >o-Cresol Conaen
