MCQ
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A$ : Benzene is more stable than hypothetical cyclohexatriene.

Reason $R$ : The delocalized $\pi$ electron cloud is attracted more strongly by nuclei of carbon atoms. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • B
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
c
Assertion $- A$ : Benzene is more stable than cyclohexatriene (True)

Reason $- R :$ Delocalised $\pi-$ e cloud lies $B.M.O$ so more attracted by nuclei of carbon atom.
