The video tutorial explains the inductive effect and its impact on molecular polarity, dipole moments, bond lengths, and acidity. It highlights how the strength of the minus I group affects these properties, using examples like methyl chloride, methyl iodide, and various substituted acids. The tutorial also discusses the relationship between acidity, PKA values, and the distance of the minus I group from the acid group.
