| Assertion(A): | Lower aldehydes and ketones are soluble in water, but their solubility decreases with increase in molecular mass. |
| Reason(R): | Aldehydes and ketones can be distinguished by Tollens' test. |
| Assertion (A): | In presence of NaBH4, \(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\|\\ CH_2=CH-C-H\) is reduced to give \(CH_3-CH_2-CH_2OH.\) |
| Reason (R): | NaBH4 reduces conjugated double bonds also. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Assertion (A): | Benzaldehyde is less reactive than acetaldehyde towards nucleophiles. |
| Reason (R): | Carbonyl carbon in benzaldehyde has less positive charge than that of carbonyl carbon in acetaldehyde due to resonance. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Assertion (A): | Aldehydes and ketones give nucleophilic addition reaction but acyl derivatives give nucleophilic substitution reaction. |
| Reason (R): | Aldehydes and ketones contain stronger bases and poor leaving groups in comparison to acyl derivatives. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
