MCQ
Assertion (A): Both cyclopropane and propene give addition reactions readily.
Reason (R): Cyclopropane and propene are isomers of each other.
  • A
    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.
  • C
    A is true but R is false.
  • D
    A is false but R is true.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
Explanation: Propene being unsaturated undergoes addition reactions. In contrast, cyclopropane being strained readily undergoes ring cleavage to yield addition products.
