Statement 1 :Aryl halides cannot be prepared by replacement of hydroxyl group of phenol by halogen atom.
Statment 2 :Phenols react with halogen acids violently.

A

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 1.

B

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.

D

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Aryl halides cannot be prepared by replacing hydroxyl group of phenols because the carbon oxygen bond in phenols has a partial double bond character and is difficult to break being stronger than a single bond.
