Formic acud is a stronger acid than acetic acid. This can be explained using
+M effect
-I effect
+I effect
-M effect
C.
+I effect
In acetic acid, methyl group release electron due to +I effect which decreases its acidic character whereas, formic acid does not contain any such type of group. Hence, formic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid.
Mesomeric effect involves
delocalisation of π- electron
delocalisation of σ- electron
partial displacement of electrons
delocalisation of π and σ- electron
