Assertion (A): Addition reaction is a characteristic property of alkenes
Reason (R): Alkenes are double bond compounds.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Reason — Alkenes undergo addition reactions due to the presence of a reactive double bond (C=C). Hence, the assertion (A) is true. Alkenes are compounds with at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Addition reaction in alkenes is due to the presence of double bond. Hence, the reason (R) is true and it is the correct explanation of (A).
