Question 2

Why is 2,4,5-trifluorophenol much more acidic than phenol?
 
  A) The fluorines adjacent to the OH group are large and shield the hydroxl group from making the solution basic.
  B) The fluorines de-stabilize the benzene ring and thus give the structure more acidic characteristics.
  C) The fluorines have high electronegativities and help to stabilize the negative charges, which makes it even easier for the hydrogen to be lost.
  D) False 2,4,5-trifluorophenol is actually not more acidic than phenol.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
