Question

Statement I: In strongly acidic solutions , anline becomes more reactive towards electrophilic reagents ltbRgt Statement II: The amino group being completely protonated in strongly acidic solution, the line pair of electrons on nitrogen is no longer avalible for resonace.
A. Statement (I) is true : Statement (II) is true : Statement (II) is the correct esplanation of Statement (I)
B. Statement (I) is true : Statement (II) is true , Statement (II) is not the correct exphanation fo sTatement (I)
C. Statement I is True, Statament II is false
D. Statement (I) is false , Statement (II) is true .

Answer 1

Correct Answer - (d)
In strongly acidic medium , aniline is protanated , so ` LP bar(e)` s are not available to produce mesomeric or electromeric effect , thus, aniline becomes less reactive towards (SE) reactions . Staement (I) is incorrect n, but Statement (II) is correct .
