NEET Chemistry Elimination Reactions MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about elimination reactions is correct?
Elimination reactions typically result in the formation of alkenes.
Elimination reactions do not involve the loss of a halogen atom.
The product of an elimination reaction is always a single alkene.
