Q6 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (27 Jul Shift 1) · Chemistry
Given below are two statements :
Aniline is less basic than acetamide.
In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom is delocalised over benzene ring due to resonance and hence less available to a proton.
Choose the most appropriate option ;

Choose the most appropriate option ;
- AStatement is true but statement is false.
- Correct answerBStatement is false but statement is true.
- CBoth statement and statement are true.
- DBoth statement and statement are false.
Solution
Explanation :- aniline is more basic than acetamide because in acetamide, lone pair of nitrogen is delocalised to more electronegative element oxygen.
In Aniline lone pair of nitrogen delocalised over benzene ring.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
