NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): Haloarenes are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions compared to haloalkanes. | Reason (R): The carbon atom in haloarenes is sp3 hybridised, leading to a longer C–X bond length.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because haloarenes are less reactive due to the shorter C–X bond in haloarenes compared to haloalkanes. The reason is false because the carbon atom in haloarenes is sp2 hybridised, not sp3.
