The general trend for the activity for hydrogenation increases from left to right. In Hydrogenation reaction, catalytic activity depends on variable oxidation states as well as atomic size. Hence for hydrogenation reactions, the catalytic activity increases from a group 5 to group 11 metals with maximum activity shown by group 7-9 elements.
For the following Assertion and Reason, the correct option is: Assertion: For hydrogenation reactions, the catalytic activity increases from Group 5…

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Given below are two statements: Statement I: $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}$ is more stable than $\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_{3}$ as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}$. Statement II: $\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_{3}$ is less stable than $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}$ as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_{3}$. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
