Question
Assertion A : Benzene is more stable than hypothetical cyclohexatriene.Reason R : The delocalized π electron cloud is attracted more strongly by nuclei of carbon atoms.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:A is true but R is false.A is false but R is true.Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
Solution
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion A is true because Benzene is indeed more stable than hypothetical cyclohexatriene. This is due to the delocalization of π electrons in Benzene, which allows the electrons to move freely across the carbon atoms, thus increasing its stability.
Reason R is also true and it is the correct explanation of A. The delocalized π electron cloud in Benzene is attracted more strongly by the nuclei of the carbon atoms. This strong attraction stabilizes the molecule, making it more stable than cyclohexatriene, where the π electrons are not delocalized.
