Assertion (A): The empirical formula of natural rubber is

{C}_5 {H}_8

.

Reason (R): Natural rubber contains no conjugative double bonds.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Option B (Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A) is correct because while both the empirical formula of natural rubber is

{C}_5 {H}_8

and it lacks conjugative double bonds are true, the latter doesn't explain the former.
