Assertion: Acetamide has more polar`gt C = 0` group than ethyl acetoacetate.
Reason : `ddot NH_(2)` is more electron donating than `OC_(2)H_(5)`

Options

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.

Answer

A

Explanation

`CH_(3)-overset(o)overset(||)underset("Acetamide")C-overset(..)(NH)_(2)" "C_(2)H_(5)overset(..)(O)-overset(O)overset(||)underset("Ethyl acetoacetate")(C)-CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-CH_(3)`
As `-NH_(2)` is more basic than `RO` hence acetamide has more polar ground than `OC_(2)H_(5)` ground in ethyl acetoacetate.
