The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Isobutanal does not give the iodoform test." **Explanation**: The iodoform test is a qualitative test used to identify the presence of a methyl ketone or an alcohol that can be oxidized to a methyl ketone. For a compound to give a positive iodoform test, it must have a methyl group (–CH3) adjacent to the carbonyl group (C=O) or be able to form such a structure upon oxidation. ### Step 2: Analyze Isobutanal Structure Isobutanal has the following structure: - **Chemical Formula**: CH₃-CH(CH₃)-C(=O)H - **Structure**: ``` CH3 | CH3-CH-C(=O)H ``` **Observation**: In isobutanal, the carbonyl group (C=O) is not adjacent to a methyl group (–CH3) on both sides. Therefore, it cannot form the necessary structure to give a positive iodoform test. ### Step 3: Understand the Reason The reason states that "It does not have alpha-hydrogen." **Explanation**: Alpha-hydrogens are the hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atom adjacent to the carbonyl group. In the case of isobutanal, the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl (C=O) does have hydrogen atoms attached to it. ### Step 4: Conclusion - The assertion is **true**: Isobutanal does not give the iodoform test. - The reason is **false**: Isobutanal does have alpha-hydrogens. ### Final Answer The correct answer is **C**: The assertion is true, and the reason is false. ---
