Which of the following statement is false?

Options

  1. A40 % solution HCHO is known as formalin
  2. BHCHO is least reactive in its homologous series
  3. CThe boiling point of iso-vareladehyde is less than n -varelaldehyde (4)
  4. DThe boiling point of ketones are higher than that of aldehydes

Correct answer

B. HCHO is least reactive in its homologous series

Step-by-step solution

Formaldehyde is the most reactive in its homologous series. Order of reactivity of some aldehydes is as follows HCHO > CH ₃ CHO > CH ₃ CH ₂ CHO
