Correct answer
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step explanation
Statement I is true because the group is an electron-donating group. It donates electron density through resonance ( effect), which delocalizes the positive charge of the carbocation and stabilizes it.
Statement II is true because the group is a strong electron-withdrawing group. It withdraws electron density through resonance ( effect), which delocalizes the negative charge of the carbanion and stabilizes it.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Statement II is true because the group is a strong electron-withdrawing group. It withdraws electron density through resonance ( effect), which delocalizes the negative charge of the carbanion and stabilizes it.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true
