TS EAMCET · Chemistry · Aldehydes and Ketones
Assertion : Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards nucleophilic addition reactions. Reason (R) : In aldehydes, carbonyl carbon is less electrophilic compared to ketones. The correct answer is
- A (A) and (R) are correct. (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- B (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- C (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
- D (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Assertion is correct and reason is not correct. Aldehyde carbonyl carbon are more electrophilic than those in ketones because aldehyde have only one electron donating alkyl group compared to ketones. Inductive effect and steric hinderence making aldehyde more susceptible to…
