In the following question a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
Assertion: Olefinic monomers undergo addition polymerisation.
Reason: Polymerisation of vinyl chloride is initiated by peroxides/persulphates.
(i) Assertion and reason both are correct statements, but reason does not explain the assertion.
(ii) Assertion and reason both are correct statements, and reason explain the assertion.
(iii) Both assertion and reason are the wrong statements.
(iv) The assertion is correct statement and reason is the wrong statement.
(v) The assertion is the wrong statement and reason is the correct statement.
The answer is the option (i). Olefinic monomers like ethene undergo addition polymerisation. The monomers used in addition polymerisation reaction are unsaturated compounds like alkenes, alkadienes etc. The assertion and reason both are correct statements but the reason does not explain the assertion.
