Assertion : Interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogens (except fluorine)
Reason : They all undergo hydrolysis giving halide ion derived from the smaller halogen and anion derived from larger halogen.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution
