Question

Nitrobenzene on reduction using zinc in alkaline medium results in $X$. The number of sigma $\left(\sigma \right)$ and pi $\left(\pi \right)$ bonds in $X$ 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 D $27\sigma ,6\pi$

Nitrobenzene on reduction using zinc in alkaline medium give hydrazobenzene.

Hydrazobenzene (X) contains $27\sigma$ and $6\pi$ bonds.

Option D is correct.
