Assertion: Addition of Br(2) to 1-butene...

Assertion: Addition of `Br_(2)` to `1`-butene gives two optical isomers.
Reason: The product contains one asymmetric carbon atoms.

A

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

B

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

C

If the assertion is true but reason is false

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH=CH_(2)overset(Br_(2))toCH_(3)CH_(2)CHoverset(o+)underset(Br_(2))underset(|)(C)H_(2)Br`
`o+` is asymmetric carbon and thus optical isomerism
