Assertion : Addition of bromine to tran...

Assertion : Addition of bromine to trans-but-2-ene yields meso-2,3-dibromobutane. ​
Reason : Bromine addition to an alkene is a nucleophilic addition
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are CORRECT and Reason is the CORRECT explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are CORRECT but Reason is not the CORRECT explanation of the Assertion.
(c) I Assertion is CORRECT but Reason is INCORRECT.
(d)I Assertion is CORRECT but Reason is INCORRECT.

A

Statement `I` is true, Statement `II` is true, Statement `II` is the correct explanation of Statement `I`.

B

Statement`I` is true, Statement`II` is true, Statement `II` is not the correct explanation of Statement `I`.

C

Statement `I` is true, Statement `II` is false.

D

Statement `I` is false, Statement `II` is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Statement `(I)` is correct but statement `(II)` is not the correct explanation of the statement `(I)(`addition of `Br_(2)` to trans`-2-`butene is ionic, while it is an electrophilic addition in alkenes `)`.
