Assertion (A) : `C_(2)H_(5)Br` and alcoholic silver nitrite react to give nitroethane as a major product.
Reason (R ) : `NO_(2)^(-)` is an ambident nucleophile.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
