Statement I: Treatment of HOCH2CH2Br with OH− in H2O gives mainly Statement II: O− acts as a nucleophile in the reaction |
Both statement I and statement II are correct and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I Both statement I and statement II are correct but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I Statement I is correct but statement II is false Statement I is false but statement II is correct |
Both statement I and statement II are correct and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I |
