Statement I : Sodium hydride can be used as an oxidising agent. Statement II : The lone pair of electrons on nitrogen in pyridine makes it basic. Choose the CORRECT answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. ABoth statement I and statement II are false
  2. BStatement I is true but statement II is false
  3. CStatement I is false but statement II is true
  4. DBoth statement I and statement II are true

Correct answer

C. Statement I is false but statement II is true

Step-by-step solution

(1) NaH (sodium Hydride) is used as a reducing reagent. (2) In pyridine, due to free electron on N atom, it is basic in nature. Hence, statement I is false and II is true.
