JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 6. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\) : Assertion \(A\) : Aryl halides cannot be prepared by replacement of hydroxyl group of phenol by halogen atom. Reason \(R\) : Phenols react with halogen acids violently. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
- A Both \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\) are true but \(\mathrm{R}\) is \(NOT\) the correct explanation of \(\mathrm{A}\)
- B \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
- C \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
- D Both \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\) are true and \(\mathrm{R}\) is the correct explanation of A
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Assertion \((A)\): Given statement is correct because in phenol hydroxyl group cannot be replaced by halogen atom. Reason \((\mathrm{R})\) : Given reason is false.
