Given below are two statements:

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:

  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  2. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  3. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  4. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

Solution

Aniline is a systematic name, whereas Aminobenzene is an IUPAC name.

Aniline, also known as aminobenzene or phenylamine, has 6 carbon C atoms, 7 hydrogen H atoms, and 1 nitrogen N atom in its chemical formula of C6H7N or C6H5NH2. Because aniline has an amino group in its structure, it is also an amine, hence it is classified as an aromatic amine.

Hence, the correct answer is B.
