Assertion: Alkanes having more than three carbon atoms exhibit chain isomerism. Reason: All carbon atoms in alkanes are sp&hyphen;hybridized. (A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion (B) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion (C) If Assertion is true but the Reason is false (D) If both Assertion and Reason are false

Chain isomerism occurs due to difference in the arrangement of

C

-atoms in the chain. Simplest compound exhibiting chain Isomerism is butane. e.g.

n- butane C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}

lso butane C H_{3} - C ∣ C H_{3} H - C H_{3}

All carbon atoms in all alkanes are

s p^{3}

hybridised.

Q. Assertion: Alkanes having more than three carbon atoms exhibit chain isomerism. Reason: All carbon atoms in alkanes are sp‐hybridized.

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false

If both Assertion and Reason are false

Chain isomerism occurs due to difference in the arrangement of C -atoms in the chain. Simplest compound exhibiting chain Isomerism is butane. e.g. n- butaneCH3​CH2​CH2​CH3​​ lso butaneCH3​−C∣CH3​​H−CH3​​ All carbon atoms in all alkanes are sp3 hybridised.
