NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): Free radical monochlorination of (CH3)2CHCH2CH3 gives multiple structural isomers. | Reason (R): Haloalkanes can be classified based on the nature of the carbon atom to which the halogen is attached.
A
Both A and R are true and R explains A.
B
Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because free radical monochlorination of (CH3)2CHCH2CH3 can result in different structural isomers due to the presence of different types of hydrogen atoms. The reason is also true, but it does not explain the assertion as it pertains to classification and not the formation of isomers.
