Chemistry · Electronic displacement in a covalent bond: Inductive effect, electromeric effect, resonance and hyperconjugation
Pick up the correct statement:
Pick up the correct statement:
- A. Boiling points of alkyl halides are greater than those of the corresponding alkanes.
- B. In water, the solubility decreases as \( C H_{3} O H> \) \( C_{2} H_{5} O H>C_{6} H_{5} O H \)
- C. Aniline is a weaker base than ammonia.
- D. All of the above.
Step-by-step solution
A: Alkyl halides have higher boiling points than corresponding alkanes due to stronger dipole-dipole and London dispersion forces. B: Solubility in water decreases as chain length increases; methanol is fully miscible, ethanol is miscible, phenol is sparingly soluble. C: Aniline is a weaker base than ammonia because the lone pair on nitrogen is delocalized into the benzene ring, reducing electron availability for protonation. All statements are correct.
