Question

why does CH3 show -I effect and NH3 +I effect, is it because of the
difference iv there electron configuration

Dear student,CH3â€” is alkyl group it show +I
effect and increases electron density to near atom CH3 is an
electron donating group It is a +I group but it does not show M
effect It donates electron rather than accepting it because in
general the atoms that forms bond with carbon of CH3 are more
electronegative than carbon itself In case of NH3,due to
electronegativity of N it withdraws electron and decreases electron
density thus showing -I effect Regards
