Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): Alkynes undergo addition reactions due to the presence of a triple bond. | Reason (R): Alkynes contain sp hybridized orbitals that overlap to form sigma bonds.
A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C
(A) is true but (R) is false.
