In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.
Assertion (A): Pent- 1- ene and pent- 2- ene are position isomers.
Reason (R): Position isomers differ in the position of functional group or a substituent.
(i) Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(ii) Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A
(iii) Both A and R are not correct.
(iv) A is not correct but R is correct
The answer is the option (i) Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: When two or more compounds have functional groups or substituent atoms attached at different positions on the carbon skeleton, they are termed as position isomers and this phenomenon is termed as position isomerism
