Aldehydes and ketones are amphoteric. Thus they can react both as acids and bases. Under acidic conditions, the carbon of the protonated carbonyl group is much more electrophilic, reacting even with weak necleophile. Carbonyl compound gives nucleophilic addition reaction. In this reaction the nucleophilic attack precedes the electrophilic attack. Which of the statements regarding nucleophilic addition to carbonyl compounds "is"//"are" correct?

Assertion : Benzaldehyde is less reactive than ethanal towards nucleophilic attack. Reason : All the carbon atoms of benzaldehyde are sp^(2) hybridised.

Assertion : Carboxylic acids contain a carbonyl group but do not give characteristic reaction of the carbonyl group. Reason : The electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon is more in carbocylic acids than in aldehydes and ketones.
