Updated On: Jul 7, 2022
- $\ce{C6H5CHO }$
- $\ce{ CH3CHO }$
- $\ce{HCHO }$
- All the equally reactive
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Among carbonyl compounds, reactivity decrease with increase in alkyl groups as alkyl groups (+ I effect) decrease positive character on C-atom. Thus, the correct order of reactivity is-
$ {HCHO > CH3CHO > C6H5CHO }$
