Assertion : Acetate ion is less basic than the methoxide ion....
Assertion : Acetate ion is less basic than the methoxide ion.
Reason : The acetate ion is resonance stabilized.
Options
- AIf both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
- BIf both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (2).
- CIf Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).
- DIf both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).
Correct answer
A. If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
Step-by-step solution
Acetate ion is less basic than methoxide ion because acetate ion is resonance stablised.
(\because) Stability order
As basic strength order (\propto \frac{1}{\text{ Stablity order }})
So, basic strength order
