NEET Chemistry Classification Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Allylic alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom next to a double bond.
Reason (R): The hybridisation of the carbon atom to which the -OH group is attached determines the classification of alcohols.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Allylic alcohols indeed have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom next to a double bond. However, the reason related to hybridisation does not specifically explain the assertion about allylic alcohols.
