NEET Chemistry Isomerism Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Chain isomerism occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but different carbon skeletons. | Reason (R): Different structural arrangements result in compounds with different physical and chemical properties.
Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
Assertion is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Chain isomerism is a type of structural isomerism where compounds have the same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of carbon atoms, leading to different skeletons. This difference in structure results in different properties of the compounds.
