MCQ
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:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • C
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • D
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false

Answer

Correct option: B.
Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
b
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.

Fusion of $MnO _2$ with $KOH$ in presence of $O _2$ produces a salt $W$. Alkaline solution of $W$ upon eletrolytic oxidation yields another salt $X$. The manganese containing ions present in $W$ and $X$, respectively, are $Y$ and $Z$. Correct statement($s$) is (are)

$(1)$ $Y$ is diamagnetic in nature while $Z$ is paramagnetic

$(2)$ Both $Y$ and $Z$ are coloured and have tetrahedral shape

$(3)$ In both $Y$ and $Z , \pi$-bonding occurs between $p$-orbitals of oxygen and $d$-orbitals of manganese.

$(4)$ In aqueous acidic solution, $Y$ undergoes disproportionation reaction to give $Z$ and $MnO _2$.
