Statement-I is True, Statement-II is also True but Statement-II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-I.
Explanation:
- The compound given is the trans 2 butene.
- Bromine addition is the electrophilic addition via the free radicle addition.
- This addition involves the tricycle bromine complex.
- This results in the trans addition of the bromine.
- Thus, trans addition on a trans compound gives the meso compound because of having the plane of symmetry in the compound.
- But this is not explained in the 2nd statement.
- So the statement 2 doesn't explain statement 1.
