Among the following statements about the molecules X and Y, the one(s) which correct is (are)
X and Y are diastereomers
X and Y are enantiomers
X and Y are both aldohexoses
X is a D-sugar and Y is an L-sugar
Explain why aniline is not as basic as ammonia.
In aniline, the lone pair over nitrogen atom is in conjugation with the -electrons of the benzene ring and it takes part in resonance. That is why availabiity of lone pair is not as that as in ammonia. Thus, aniline is less basic than ammonia.
The two structures written below represent
pair of diastereomers
pair of enantiomers
same molecule
both are optically inactive
