Question

Assertion (A): Carbon compounds can form chains, branched and ring structures.

Reason (R): Carbon exhibits the property of catenation.

पर्याय

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Carbon has the unique ability to form strong covalent bonds with other carbon atoms, a property known as catenation. This allows carbon to link together in various arrangements, including long chains, branches, and rings, leading to a wide variety of organic compounds.
