General Organic Chemistry Question 33

Question 33 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 1)

Given below are two statement one is labeled as Assertion (A) and the other is labeled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): $CH _2=CH-CH _2-Cl$ is an example of allyl halide

Reason (R): Allyl halides are the compounds in which the halogen atom is attached to $sp^{2}$ hybridised carbon atom.

In the light of the two above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

(1) (A) is true but (R) is false

(2) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

(3) (A) is false but (R) is true

(4) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Show Answer

Answer (1)

Solution

Formula: Allyl Halides

$CH _2=CH-CH _2-Cl$

$\uparrow$

It is allyl carbon and $sp^{3}$ hybridized
