is incorrect, but Reason (R) is correct statement.
a) In the case of optically active alkyl halide, the product formed as a result of
1 . Assertion (A)
mechanism has the inverted configuration as compared to the reactant. S,2

Reason (R)
In Sh2 mechanism, the nucleophile attaches itself on the side opposite to the one
where the halogen is present resulting in inversion in configuration of the product
A): A racemic mixture is represented by fixing dl or (E) before the namne.
Assertion

ASSR
Reason (R)
:Aryl halides are extremely reactive towards nucleophilic substitutions.
Assertion (A) The stereoisomer's related to each other as non-super imposable mirror images
2 are called enantiomers.
a5on (R)
Reason (R) Butan-2-ol has four different groups attached to the tetrahedral carbon and is
chiral.
sertion (A) : Alkyl halides are prepared by electrophilic halogenation of alkanes.
04
Reason (R) DDT is a safe insecticide.
ASsertion (A) :Halothane is used as an anaesthetic during surgery.
Reason (R) T h e deficiency of iodine in our body causes goitre.
Oh Assertion (A): The compounds in which the halogen atom is bounded to an sp hybridised
carbon atom adjacent to the carbon-carbon double bond are called vinylic halides.
Reason (R) :Common names of alkyl halides are derived by namingthe alkyl group folllowed
by the name of the halide.
07. Assertion (A) : Common name of CH- CHCl, is ethylidene chloride.
Reason (R) As we go down the group in the Periodic Table, the size of halogen atom
decreases.
05. Assertion (A) : The minor product obtained in the reaction between CH,CH = CH, and HI is

CH,CHCHI.
Reason (R) : Alkyl bromides and iodides develop colour when exposed to light.
% Assertion (A) : Boiling points of alkyl halides decreases in the order:
RI> RBr>RCl > RF
Reason (R) Attractions get stronger as the molecules get bigger in size.
ASSertion (A) A mixture containing two enantiomers in equal proportions is called a racemic
mixture.
Reason (R)
Ea5on (R) Compounds of the type RMgX were discovered by Sandmeyer.
