Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Correct answer
B. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Aniline is a systematic name, whereas Aminobenzene is an IUPAC name. Aniline, also known as aminobenzene or phenylamine, has 6 carbon C atoms, 7 hydrogen H atoms, and 1 nitrogen N atom in its chemical formula of C 6 H 7 N or C 6 H 5 NH 2 . Because aniline has an amino group in its structure, it is also an amine, hence it is classified as an aromatic amine. Hence, the correct answer is B.
