NEET Chemistry Alkenes Assertion Reason Question
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.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is false.
Correct Answer
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.
