Assertion : 1,3-dichlorocyclopentane can show optical isomerism.
Reason : Compound which have POS or COS can never show optical isomerism.
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Assertion is true: 1,3-dichlorocyclopentane has a chiral stereoisomer.
Reason is also true: a structure with a plane or centre of symmetry is achiral.
The symmetry rule does not show which stereoisomer is chiral. Both statements are true, but reason is not its explanation: B.
