Statement 1: Acetamide has more polar C = O group than ethyl acetoacetate. Statement 2: NH2 is more electron donating than OC2H5

Question

Statement 1: Acetamide has more polar > C = O group than ethyl acetoacetate. Statement 2: NH2 is more electron donating than OC2H5 (A) If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1. (B) If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1. (C) If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

Hence assertion and reason both are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Q. Statement 1: Acetamide has more polar $> C = O$ group than ethyl acetoacetate.
Statement 2: $N H_{2}$ is more electron donating than $O C_{2} H_{5}$

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.

As $- N H_{2}$ is more basic than $R O^{-}$ hence acetamide has more polar group than $O C_{2} H_{5}$ group in ethyl acetoacetate. Hence assertion and reason both are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
