Solution

Electron Withdrawing Groups (EWGs) and Electron Donating Groups (EDGs) are functional groups in organic chemistry that either pull electron density away from other parts of a molecule (EWGs) or push electron density towards other parts of a molecule (EDGs).

Electron Withdrawing Groups (EWGs) include:

  1. Nitro group (-NO2)
  2. Carbonyl group (C=O)
  3. Nitrile group (-CN)
  4. Halogens (F, Cl, Br, I)
  5. Sulfonic acid group (-SO3H)
  6. Carboxylic acid group (-COOH)
  7. Esters (-COOR)
  8. Amides (-CONR2)

Electron Donating Groups (EDGs) include:

  1. Alkyl groups (-R)
  2. Hydroxy group (-OH)
  3. Amino group (-NH2)
  4. Ether group (-OR)
  5. Alkoxy group (-OCH3)
  6. Aryl group (-Ph)
  7. Vinyl group (-CH=CH2)

Please note that the effect of these groups can be influenced by their position in the molecule and the specific context of the molecule's structure.
