NEET Chemistry SN1 & SN2 Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is more reactive than C6H5CH(CH3)Br in SN1 reactions. | Reason (R): The carbocation intermediate from C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is stabilized by resonance with two phenyl groups.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
