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

Assertion (A): CH2=CH-CH2-Cl is an example of allyl halide
Reason (R): Allyl halides are the compounds in which the halogen atom is attached to sp2 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)

Solution

Allylic halides: These are the compounds where the halogen group is attached to a sp3 hybridised carbon atom next to the carbon which is already in a double bond with another carbon atom.

Hence, the answer is option A.
