Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and other is labelled as Reason R:
Assertion
A
: Carbonyl carbon atom behaves as a Lewis acid.
Reason (R): In
, carbon is less electronegative than oxygen.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A is true but
is false.
Reason (R): In
, carbon is less electronegative than oxygen. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A is true but
is false. B
A is false but R is true.
C
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A .
D
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A .
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Carbonyl carbon is electrophilic/Lewis acidic;
is polarised since O is more electronegative 
bears 
, accepts 
pair. Thus A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.
