Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In an organic compound, when inductive and electromeric effects operate in opposite directions, the inductive effect predominates.
Statement II: Hyperconjugation is observed in o-xylene.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true.
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false.
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false.
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true.
Correct answer
D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
Step-by-step solution
- In an organic compound when inductive and electromeric effects operate in opposite directions, the electromeric effect predominates.
In alkylarene, hybridized bonds are present the carbon of which is directly bonded to carbon atoms so, hyperconjugation effect is observed in o-xylene.
