Given below are two statements: Statement \(I\): Tropolone is an aromatic compound and has \(8 \pi\) electrons. Statement \(II\): \(\pi\) electrons of \( > C = O\) group in tropolone is involved in aromaticity. 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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Statement \(I\) is true but Statement \(II\) is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tropolone is an aromatic compound and has \(8 \pi\) electrons \(\left(6 \pi e ^{-}\right.\)are endocyclic and \(2 \pi e^{-}\) are exocyclic) and \(\pi\) electrons of \( > C = O\) group in tropolone is not involved in aromaticity.
