conjugate base mein x aur z dono aromatic ho jayenge but -CN -m effect show karta hai thus decreasing the -ve charge and less aromaticity thus making x anion more stable than z and x a better acid than z

ans is z>x>y sadly

"Decreases the aromaticity" part is wrong imo. The ring is still aromatic and -CN is just helping to ease the -ve charge.

so it is kinda neutralizing some of -ve charge and in x theres complete -ve charge therefore better aromaticity
SirLancelotDuLac
There should just be -ve charge/conjugation for it to be aromatic. For example, would you consider phenol less aromatic than benzene? No.

so phenol is more stable than benzene ??

Z is more acidic bc CN will take electron thereby making the H more acidic
SirLancelotDuLac
No. I was just saying that by resonance edg or ewg just decreases the electron density. It doesn't have effect over aromaticity.

observe that this -ve charge is helping both in aromaticity and conjugation with C triple bond N {Aromatic+Conjugation}

@hardcoreisdead both x and y become anti aromatic After deprotonation Y is non planar And x has 4 pi electrons

X to aromatic ban jaaega

Yeah -ve charge aata hai deprotonation ke baad
