Answer 2

Naphthalene is easily oxidized, when it is treated with $CrO_{3}$ in acetic acid at room temperature, it forms 1,4-naphthoquinone. (Option A)

• The reactive $\alpha$ positions in naphthalene are easily oxidized.
• Since naphthalene is more reactive than benzene.
• This is because the reaction intermediates do not destroy aromaticity completely.
• Whereas naphthalene does not react with strong acids and bases like $HCl$ and $NaOH$.
