Given below are two statements: Statement I: In O_2 N - C_6 H_4 -...

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In O2NO_2 N-C6H4C_6 H_4-CH⊕CH^{\oplus}-C6H4C_6 H_4-OCH3OCH_3, the carbocation is stabilised by +R+R effect of −OCH3-OCH_3 group.
Statement II: In O2NO_2 N-C6H4C_6 H_4-CH⊖CH^{\ominus}-C6H4C_6 H_4-OCH3OCH_3, the carbanion is stabilised by −R-R effect of −NO2-NO_2 group.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer

A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step solution

Statement I is true because the −OCH3-OCH_3 group is an electron-donating group. It donates electron density through resonance (+R+R effect), which delocalizes the positive charge of the carbocation and stabilizes it.

Statement II is true because the −NO2-NO_2 group is a strong electron-withdrawing group. It withdraws electron density through resonance (−R-R effect), which delocalizes the negative charge of the carbanion and stabilizes it.

Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true
