JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The conversion proceeds well in the less polar medium.
\(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Cl} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{HO}^{-}} \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{Cl}^{(-)}\)
Statement II: The conversion proceeds well in the more polar medium.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

  1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. B Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  3. C Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. D Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Verified Solution
