| Assertion: Alkyl halides form alkenes when heated above\[300{}^\circ C\]. |
| Reason: \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}I\] react slowly with strong base when compared to\[C{{D}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}I\]. |
| Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below: |
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}I\] reacts more rapidly with strong base in comparison to \[C{{D}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}I\]. The elimination of HI (or DI) in presence of strong base shows \[{{E}_{2}}\] elimination. The rate determining step involves the breaking up of C-H (or C-D) bond. The C-D bond being stronger than C-H and thus elimination is faster in case of\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}I\].
