Question

Nitrobenzene on reduction using zinc in alkaline medium results in ${}^{\prime }{X}^{\prime }$. The number of sigma $\left(\sigma \right)$ and pi $\left(\pi \right)$ bonds in ${}^{\prime }{X}^{\prime }$ is:

• A. $24\sigma ,7\pi$
• B. $24\sigma ,6\pi$
• C. $27\sigma ,7\pi$
• D. $27\sigma ,6\pi$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $27\sigma ,7\pi$

As the compound formed by the reduction of nitro benzene by zinc in alkaline medium gives the Azobenzene and there are $27\sigma$ , $7\pi$ bonds. Therefore C is the correct option.
