JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 9. Amines

Given below are two statements: Statement \(I :\) Aniline is less basic than acetamide. Statement \(II :\) In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom is delocalised over benzene ring due to resonance and hence less available to a proton. Choose the most appropriate option:

  1. A Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are true.
  2. B Both statement \(I\) and statement \(II\) are false.
  3. C Statement \(\mathrm{I}\) is true but statement \(II\) is false.
  4. D Statement \(\mathrm{I}\) is false but statement \(II\) is true.
