Assertion: Boiling and melting point of ...

Assertion: Boiling and melting point of amides are higher than corresponding acids
Reason : It is due to strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding in their molention.

A

If Both assertion and reason are true reason is the correct explation of the assertion.

B

If Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Amides are `R-CONH_(2)`
Acides are `R-COOH`
Due to the presence of `-NH_(2)` groupm is stronger hydrogen bonding between the amide molecules than between the acid molecues. Some acids are rather present in dimer forms due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
