How would you tell if a group is withdrawing or donating group?
is it something you would just have to memorize or still able to distinguish by referring to the periodic table?
I know it has to do something with electronegativity, but what I dont understand is that If there is OCH3 on a benzene ring, isn't OCH3 more electronegative, therefore pulls the electrons towards itself?
I am totally confused
