Assertion (A) : Pyridine is more basic than piperidine.
Reason (R ): N atom is `sp^2`-hybridised in both.

A

If both (A) and (R ) ar true, and (R ) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R ) are true , and (R ) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is true , but (R ) is false .

D

If both (A) and (R ) are false .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(I)
(piperidin ) is more basic than pyridine

(II) Although there is no delocalisation of ,
`LPoverline e` s of (N) atom in both , but (N) is `sp^3` - phbridised in
(I) and ` sp^2` -hybridised in (II) So (I) mor basic than (II).
