Assertion : `K_(2)[Ni(EDTA)]` is more stable than `K_(3)[Al(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]`.
Reason : Ni is a transition element while Al is a non-transition element .

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

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Greater stability of `K_(2)`[Ni(EDTA)] is due to greater number of chelate (rings) formed by EDTA as compared to `C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)` .
