Assertion : Electromeric effect is brought into play only at the requirement of the reagent. Reason : It is a temporary effect in which bond pair is shifted to one of the constituent atoms.
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.
