Question 7 - 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1)
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R :
Assertion A : Aryl halides cannot be prepared by replacement of hydroxyl group of phenol by halogen atom.
Reason R : Phenols react with halogen acids violently. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
(1) Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$
(2) $A$ is false but $R$ is true
(3) $A$ is true but $R$ is false
(4) Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
Show Answer
Answer (3)
Solution
Formula: Halogenation
Assertion (A): Given statement is correct because in phenol hydroxyl group cannot be replaced by halogen atom.
Reason $(R)$ :
Given reason is false
Hence Assertion (A) is correct but Reason (R) is false
