Question

Benzene reacts with chlorine in the form of light to form BHC. Reason: BHC is also called gammexane or 666.

a. Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
b. Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
c. The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
d. Both the assertion and reason are false.

Answer 1

The correct answer is b. Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is b. Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

Benzene can indeed react with chlorine in the presence of light to form BHC (Benzene Hexachloride), which is also known as gammexane or 666. However, the reason provided that BHC is also called gammexane or 666 is not a correct explanation of the assertion that benzene reacts with chlorine to form BHC.
