JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2024 - 1st February Morning Shift - No. 18)
Statement (I) : Aminobenzene and aniline are same organic compounds.
Statement (II) : Aminobenzene and aniline are different organic compounds.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Explanation
Statement (I) says that aminobenzene and aniline are the same organic compounds. Statement (II) says that aminobenzene and aniline are different organic compounds. To evaluate these statements, let's examine what each name refers to.
Aminobenzene and aniline both refer to the same compound, which has the chemical formula $$C_6H_5NH_2$$. This molecule consists of a benzene ring with an amino group ($$NH_2$$) attached to it. Aminobenzene is a name that describes the structure based on its functional groups - an amino group attached to a benzene ring. Aniline is the common name for this compound and is recognized by IUPAC as an acceptable name.
Given this information:
Statement I is correct because aminobenzene and aniline refer to the same compound, that is, $$C_6H_5NH_2$$.
Statement II is incorrect because it states that aminobenzene and aniline are different organic compounds, which is not true.
Therefore, the most appropriate answer from the given options is:
Option C Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
