Given below are two statements: Statement-I: Aniline is less basic than acetamide. Statement-II: 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: [JEE Main 2020, 6 Sep (Shift 1)]
aStatement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
bStatement-I is false but Statement-II is true
cBoth Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
dBoth Statement-I and Statement-II are false.
✓ Correct answer: b) Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
ExplanationIn triethyl amine, nitrogen is hybridized, so, bond angle is approximately around .Since, lone pair- bond pair repulsion is greater than bp-bp repulsion, hence, the exact angle is found to be .
