NEET Chemistry Alkenes Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
Assertion (A): Alkenes readily undergo electrophilic addition reactions. | Reason (R): The π-bond in alkenes is weaker than the σ-bond in alkanes, making alkenes unstable.
A
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
B
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
C
Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
D
Assertion (A) is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The weaker π-bond in alkenes compared to the σ-bond makes them more reactive, facilitating electrophilic addition reactions. This is supported by the NCERT context stating that alkenes can combine with electrophilic reagents due to their instability.
