Assertion: Aryl undergoes nucleophilic substitution with ease
Reason The carbon halogen bond in aryl halides has partial double bond character .

A

If the the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explanation of the assertion .

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion .

C

If the assertion is true but reason is true

D

If assertion is false but reason is true .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In aryl halides the halogen-atom decreases the electron density on benzene ring But due to mesomeric effect it `C-CI` bond gets partial double bond character .
