Question

Assertion-following are the members of the homologous series:
CH3OH,CH3CH2OH..so on
Reason-A series of compounds with same functional group but differing by -CH2-unit is called a homologous series.

I think that the Reason is not the correct explanation of assertion because they didn't mention that they also have similar chemical properties.
I am correct or not

Answer 1

Answer:

You are correct mate

But the reason and assertion both are correct.

it hv similar chemical properties but they differ by -CH2 group

I hope it will help u mate

Answer 2

ANSWER:::::::::

BOTH ASSERTION AND REASON ARE CORRECT AND REASON IS THE CORRECT EXPLANATION OF ASSERTION

HOW TO FIND THE ANSWER OF SUCH QUESTIONS:::::

Assertion:

A simple statement

Reason:

Reason is the explanation for the assertion.

In assertion / reason question the options given are:

Study the two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R).

Point out if:

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

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

(c) If A is true but R is false

(d) If A is false but R is true

How to solve assertion and reason based questions:

Let us look at an example:

Assertion (A): Seeds should be treated with fungicide solution.

Reason(R): Seeds do not germinate, unless treated with fungicide solution.

Solution:

First we will check if the assertion is true or not.

In this case the assertion is true.

Now we will check if reason is true or false.

In this case the reason is false, as Seeds are treated with fungicide before sowing to avoid seed borne disease. But, it is not a true fact that unless seeds are treated with fungicide solution, they cannot germinate. Hence, option(c) is true.
