Assertion: 1-butene on reaction with HBr in the presence of a peroxide

1.	Assertion: 1-butene on reaction with HBr in the presence of a peroxide produces 1-bromobutane. Reason:It involves the formation of a primary radical
Answer» Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is notthe correct explanation of the assertion Assertion is correct, but reason is incorrect Assertion is incorrect, but reason is correct Solution :Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect because 1-butene on reaction with HBr in the presence of a PEROXIDE produces 1-bromobutene. In this reaction, secondary free radical is formed as INTERMEDIATE PRODUCT. (i)(a)`(C_6H_5CO)_2 O_2 to 2C_6H_5COO^(.)` (b)`C_6H_5COO^(-)+HBr to C_6H_5COOH +Br^(.)` (II)`CH_3-CH_2-CH=CH_2+Br^(.)to CH_3-CH_2-Coverset(dot)H-CH_2Br` (iii)`CH_3-CH_2-overset(dot)CH-CH_2Br + H -Br to CH_3-CH_2 -CH_2 -CH_2Br+Br^(dot)`
