Given below are two statement one is labeled as Assertion (A) and the other is labeled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): CH 2 = CH - CH 2 - Cl is an example of allyl halide Reason (R): Allyl halides are the compounds in which the halogen atom is attached to sp 2 hybridised carbon atom. In the light of the two above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A) is true but (R) is false
- BBoth (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of A
- C(A) is false but (R) is true
- DBoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Correct answer
A. (A) is true but (R) is false
Step-by-step solution
Allylic halides: These are the compounds where the halogen group is attached to a sp 3 hybridised carbon atom next to the carbon which is already in a double bond with another carbon atom. Hence, the answer is option A.
