Given below are two statements.
Statement-I: Aniline is less basic than acetamide.
Statement-II: In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom is delocalized over benzene ring due to resonance and hence less available to a proton.
Choose the most appropriate option.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
: Aniline is more basic than acetamide because in acetamide, lone pair of nitrogen is
delocalized on more electronegative element oxygen. So, statement-I is false but statement II is true as in aniline, lone pair of N-atom is delocalized over benzene ring.
