(A) The members of the series are isomers of each other
(B) The members of the series have similar chemical properties
(C) The members of the series have the general formula Cn H 2n 2 ,where n is an integer
(D) The difference between any two successive members of the series corresponds to 14 unit of relative atomic mass

27. Assertion : Primary benzylic halides are more reactive than primary alkyl halides towards S N 1 reaction.
Reason : Reactivity depends upon the nature of the nucleophile and the solvent.
28. Assertion : Vinylic halides are reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Reason : Reactivity is due to the polarity of carbon-halogen bond.
29. Assertion : Aryl halides undergo electrophilic substitution less readily than benzene.
Reason : Aryl halide gives only meta product w.r.t. electrophilic substitution.
30. Assertion : Iodination of akanes is carried out by heat in presence of readucing agent.
Reason : Iodination of alkanes takepalce explosively.
