Assertion (A): The oxygen of OH group in alcohols is attached to sp3 hybridised carbon.
Reason (R): The bond angle in alcohols C-O-H is 109°28'.
  • A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • A is true but R is false.
  • D
    A is false but R is true.
Answer
Correct option: C.
A is true but R is false.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
The bond angle $C -\widehat{ O }- H$ in alcohols is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle 109°28'. It is due to the repulsion between the unshared electron pairs of oxygen.

MCQ 21 Mark
Assertion (A): Hydrolysis of (-)-2-bromooctane proceeds with inversion of configuration.
Reason (R): This reaction proceeds through the formation of a carbocation to give (+)-octan-2-ol as a product. In SN2 reaction of optically active halides are accompanied by inversion of configuration.
  • A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • A is true but R is false.
  • D
    A is false but R is true.
Answer
Correct option: C.
A is true but R is false.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: Hydrolysis of alkyl halides with inversion of configuration is an example of SN2 mechanism. This mechanism is a one-step process and does not involve the formation of a carbocation.
