The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statement regarding the compounds `(I)` and `(II)`, we will analyze their structures and stereochemistry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - Compound `(I)` is `F₂C=C=CF₂`, which has a structure of a carbon-carbon double bond followed by another carbon-carbon double bond. - Compound `(II)` is `F₂C=C=C=CF₂`, which has a structure of a carbon-carbon double bond followed by another carbon-carbon double bond, but with an additional carbon in between. 2. **Determine Hybridization**: - In compound `(I)`, the first two carbons are sp² hybridized (due to the double bond), and the last carbon is sp hybridized (due to the double bond with another carbon). - In compound `(II)`, the first two carbons are also sp² hybridized, while the last two carbons are sp hybridized. 3. **Analyze the Geometry**: - For compound `(I)`, the geometry around the sp² hybridized carbons will be trigonal planar, while the sp hybridized carbon will have a linear geometry. - For compound `(II)`, the geometry around the sp² hybridized carbons will also be trigonal planar, but the sp hybridized carbons will have a linear geometry, creating a different spatial arrangement. 4. **Check for Symmetry**: - Compound `(I)` has a plane of symmetry because the fluorine atoms are arranged symmetrically around the central carbon-carbon double bond. - Compound `(II)` also has a plane of symmetry due to the arrangement of fluorine atoms and the linear arrangement of the carbon atoms. 5. **Optical Activity**: - A compound is optically active if it lacks a plane of symmetry and can rotate plane-polarized light. Since both compounds `(I)` and `(II)` have a plane of symmetry, they are both optically inactive. 6. **Conclusion**: - Since both compounds are optically inactive, they are non-resolvable. Therefore, the correct statement is that neither compound `(I)` nor compound `(II)` is resolvable. ### Final Answer: Both compounds `(I)` and `(II)` are optically inactive and non-resolvable.

To determine the correct statement regarding the compounds `(I)` and `(II)`, we will analyze their structures and stereochemistry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - Compound `(I)` is `F₂C=C=CF₂`, which has a structure of a carbon-carbon double bond followed by another carbon-carbon double bond. - Compound `(II)` is `F₂C=C=C=CF₂`, which has a structure of a carbon-carbon double bond followed by another carbon-carbon double bond, but with an additional carbon in between. ...
