Assertion Boiling point of `SiH_(4) gt CH_(4)` whereas boiling point of `SiCI_(4) lt CCI_(4)`
Reasoning Chlorine possesses vacant d-orbitals but hydrogen does not .

Options

A. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`
B. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`
C. If `(A)` is correct but `(R )` is incorrect
D. If `(A)` is incorrect but `(R )` is correct

Answer

B

Explanation

Both `(A)` and `( R)` are correct But `(R )` is not the correct explantion of `(A)` since boiling points are not correlated with vacant d-orbitals .
