MCQ

Assertion : Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanol towards nucleophilic attack.
Reason : The overall effect of $-I$ and $+ R$ effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of $> C = O$ group in benzaldehyde

A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
✓
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

d
Benzaldehyde is less reactive than ethanol towards nucleophilic attack. The combined effect of $-I$ and $+R$ effect of phenyl group is electron donating which increases the electron density on the carbon atom of the $> C = O$ in benzaldehyde.
