Chemistry-Isomerism
NEET Chemistry Isomerism Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): Geometrical isomerism arises due to the restricted rotation around a carbon-carbon double bond. | Reason (R): Compounds with the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangements of atoms are called stereoisomers.
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.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not specifically explain why geometrical isomerism arises. Geometrical isomerism is a type of stereoisomerism due to restricted rotation around double bonds, not just different spatial arrangements.
