Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones due to dipole-dipole interactions.
Statement $II:$ The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of $H$-bonding.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect.

Which of the following statements regarding chemical properties of acetophenone are wrong?
$(1)$ It is reduced to methyl phenyl carbinol by sodium and ethanol
$(2)$ It is oxidised to benzoic acid with acidified $KMnO_4$
$(3)$ It does not undergo electrophilic substitution like nitration at meta position
$(4)$ It does not undergo iodoform reaction with iodine and alkali

Assertion : Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanol towards nucleophilic attack.
Reason : The overall effect of $-I$ and $+R$ effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of $>C=O$ group in benzaldehyde.
