Assertion: : Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanal towards nucleophilic attack. Reason: The overall effect of - I and +R effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of C = O group in benzaldehyde.

Question

Assertion: : Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanal towards nucleophilic attack. Reason: The overall effect of - I and +R effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of > C = O group in benzaldehyde. (A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion (B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion (C) If assertion is true but reason is false (D) If both assertion and reason are false

Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanol towards nucleophilic attack.
The overall effect of

- I

and

+ R

effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of

> C =

O group in benzaldehydes.

Q. Assertion : : Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanal towards nucleophilic attack. Reason : The overall effect of −I and +R effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of >C=O group in benzaldehyde.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanol towards nucleophilic attack. The overall effect of −I and +R effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of >C= O group in benzaldehydes.

Q. Assertion : : Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanal towards nucleophilic attack.
Reason : The overall effect of $- I$ and $+ R$ effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of $> C = O$ group in benzaldehyde.

Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanol towards nucleophilic attack.
The overall effect of $- I$ and $+ R$ effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of $> C =$ O group in benzaldehydes.
