Question:

Choose the correct option out of the following choices.

Assertion :Polypropene is an addition polymer.

Reason: Polypropene is formed by addition reaction of many propene monomers without the loss of any atom or molecule.

Options:

Assertion and Reason both are correct statement and the reason is not the correct explanation of the  assertion.

Assertion and Reason both are correct statement and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.

Both assertion and reason are incorrect.

Assertion is incorrect but the reason is correct.

Correct Answer:

Assertion and Reason both are correct statement and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. Assertion and Reason both are correct statement and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.

Assertion: Polypropene is an addition polymer.

This statement is correct. Polypropene (also known as polypropylene) is an addition polymer, meaning it is formed by the polymerization of monomers without the loss of any small molecules.

Reason: Polypropene is formed by addition reaction of many propene monomers without the loss of any atom or molecule.

This statement is also correct and it provides the correct explanation for the assertion. In the polymerization of propene, the double bonds in the propene monomers open up and link together to form long chains (polypropene) through an addition reaction. This process occurs without the loss of any atoms or molecules, which is characteristic of addition polymerization.

Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains why polypropene is an addition polymer.

Therefore, the correct option is: Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
