Assertion (A) The names of straight chain compounds are based on their chain structure and carry a prefix indicating the number of carbon atoms present in the chain. Reason (R) From CH 4 to C 4 H 10, the prefixes are derived from common or trivial names.

The names of straight chain compounds are based on their chain structure and end with suffix '-ane', carry a prefix indicating the number of carbon atoms present in the chain (except from

C H_{4}

to

C_{4} H_{10}

where the prefixes are derived from trivial names).
Thus, both

A

and

R

are correct and

R

is not the correct explanation of

A

.
