Inductive Effect: The Hidden Forces in Molecules

The video tutorial explains that all bonds are covalent and discusses electronic effects that alter electron distribution, leading to special molecular properties. It focuses on the inductive effect, where atoms induce polarity in neighboring bonds, using ethyl chloride as an example. The inductive effect is a permanent effect that can be classified as electron-withdrawing or electron-donating.

Describe the phenomenon of electron displacement along a carbon chain.

What are the two classifications of inductive effect mentioned in the text?
