NEET2014ChemistryGeneral Organic ChemistryActual
Assertion: All the hydrogen atoms in CH ₂= C = CH ₂ lie in one plane. Reason : All the carbon atoms in its are s p^2 hybridized.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
The two H-atoms on first carbon and the two H -atoms on the third carbon atom lie in perpendicular planes. The central carbon atom is s p -hybridized while terminal carbon atoms are s p^2 -hybridized.
