Question
Assertion: The α-hydrogen atom in carbonyl compounds is less acidic.
Reason: The anion formed after the loss of α-hydrogen atom is resonance stabilised.
Options
Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion and reason both are wrong statements.
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reasson is not correct explanation of assertion.
Solution
Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Explanation:
Because of the presence of electron-withdrawing carbonyl group, the alpha hydrogen atom in carbonyl compounds is acidic. In nature, hydrogen is very acidic.
Because the cation is released in the form of \[\ce{H-}\], the anion created after the loss of the -hydrogen atom is resonance stabilised.
