Question

Statement 1 : Halogen acids donot add on to carbonyl bond
Statement 2 : Addition depends upon the polarization of $HX$ and carbonyl bond

• A. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1
• B. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1
• C. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False
• D. Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The high degree of polarity in $HX$ as well as in carbonyl bond shows the easy addition of $HX$ on carbonyl bond but as soon as the addition products are formed, the products loses to $HX$ to show the backward reaction
