Question

Assertion: Saturated Hydrocarbons are chemically less reactive.
Reason: All isomeric paraffins have same parent name.

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) A is true, R is false.
d) Both A and R are false.

*Kindly mention your answer with proper reason and concept.*

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Explanation:

• Saturated hydrocarbons are chemically not very reactive because they are made only of single bonds
• Whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons are made up of two are more than two bonds so it is easy to break one of the bond and they become more reactive

paraffins are nothing but alkanes

so the reason is also true
