Aniline is a derivative of benzene which contains__________________?
Correct answer: B. Amino group
- A. Imino group
- B. Amino group
- C. Amide group
- D. Nitro group
Explanation
Aniline is aminobenzene, with an -NH2 group directly attached to the benzene ring, so it contains an amino group. The likely mistake is nitro group because both groups contain nitrogen, but a nitro group is -NO2 and gives nitrobenzene, not aniline.
