Assertion (A) Benzaldehyde is less reactive in comparison to ethonal towards nucleophilic attack.
Reason (R ) All the carbon atoms of benzaldehyde are `sp^(2)` - hybridised.

A

if both assertion and reson are true, and reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

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

C

if assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Correct explanation: Due to electron donating effect of the benzene ring, the carbonyl carbon of benzaldehyde is less electrophilic.

Why a benzaldehyde less reactive than acetaldehyde towards nucleophilic addition reactions?

Assertion : Benzaldehyde is less reactive than propanal towards nucleophilic addition reactions. Reason : Benzaldehyde is less sterically hindred.

All carbon atoms are sp^(2) -hybridised in:

In CH_2 = C = CH_2 , all the carbon atoms are sp^2 hybridised.

All carbon atoms are sp^(2) hybridised in

Assertion: Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanal towards nucleophilic attact. Reason : The overall effect of- l and +R effect of phenyl group decrease the electron density on the carbon atom of gtC = O group in benzaldehyde.
