Question
Identify the correct combination of true (T) and false (F) of the given three statements.
STATEMENT-1: Acetophenone gives aldol condensation.
STATEMENT-2: Benzaldehyde is more reactive than acetaldehyde towards nucleophilic addition.
STATEMENT-3: Benzophenone has α−Hydrogens.

Solution
The correct option is C TFF
Structures of the given species are as follow:
Statement 1 is true beacuse acetophenone has α−hydrogens which enable it to undergo aldol condensation.
Statement 2 is false. Acetaldehyde is more reactive than benzaldehyde toward nucleophilic addition. In benzaldehyde, the phenyl group being bulkier group produce steric hinderance for upcoming nucleophile and also the polarity of C−O bond is reduce by electron donting nature of phenyl ring.
Statement 3 is also false because benzophenone does not have α−hydrogen.
