Assertion:In formaldehyde, all the four atoms are in the same plane
Reason:The carbon atom in formaldehyde is `sp^3` hybridized

A

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of Assertion

C

Assertion is true but Reason is false

D

Assertion is false but Reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since HCHO contains double bond

Meaning one sigma bond and one `pi`-bond . Therefore, the hybridization of carbon here is `sp^2` . Hence, reason is incorrect.
