Incorrect order of the following with respect to nucleophillic addition reaction of carbonyl compound isA. Reactivity `HCHOgtCH_(3)CHOgtCH_(3)COCH_(3)`B. Reactivity `PHCHOgtHCHO`C. Electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon `HCHOgtCH_(3)CHOgtCH_(3)COCH_(3)`D. Electrophicityy of carbonyl carbon: `HCHOgtPhCHO`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Polarity of carbonyl group is reduced in `Ph-CHO` due to resoance. Hence the respective carbonyl carbon is less electrophilic that that propanal and therefore less reactive.
Hence reactivity order `(H_(3)"CC"H_(2)CH)gtPhCHO)`
