NEET Chemistry Aromatic Hydrocarbons Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Benzene is more stable than expected for a compound with three double bonds.
Reason (R): The delocalised π electron cloud in benzene is attracted more strongly by the nuclei of the carbon atoms than a localised π bond.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The delocalisation of π electrons in benzene results in enhanced stability, as described in the NCERT content, where the π electron cloud is more strongly attracted to the carbon nuclei.
