Passage / Comprehension
Answer appropriately matching the information given in the three columns of the following table .
Which of the following option is correct?
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Oxirane and acetaldehyde both have the same molecular formula C₂H₄O.
Oxirane is a cyclic ether, whereas acetaldehyde is an open-chain aldehyde.
Therefore, they are ring-chain isomers (S).
Oxirane contains a three-membered ring, so it has high angle strain due to bond angles being much smaller than the ideal tetrahedral angle.
Acetaldehyde does not have such ring strain.
Hence, the correct matching is d → S → iv, so Option (B) is correct.
