I know when a meta group(electron withdrawing) is on the ortho/para position it increases a compounds acidity more than a meta group on a meta position. But what about basicity?? Would an electron donating group make a compound more basic if it was on the o/p position or if it was on the meta position?
Thanks, i really appreciate any help...😍

for acidity the para is the most acidic. if the group on there is electron withdrawing. In regards to basicity....i dont think you can make that call, but i would assume an electron donating group would be best on the otho position.
