Question:medium
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: Alkenes and alkynes undergo addition reaction readily.
Reason R: Alkenes and alkynes undergo addition reaction because all the bonds present in them are strong \( \sigma \) (sigma) bonds.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
• Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
• Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• A is correct but R is not correct
• A is not correct but R is correct

Show Hint
Addition reactions occur mainly in:
• Alkenes
• Alkynes because their weak \( \pi \)-bonds break easily and allow new atoms to add across the multiple bond.
• Alkenes
• Alkynes because their weak \( \pi \)-bonds break easily and allow new atoms to add across the multiple bond.
