Assertion : The atoms in a covalent m...

Assertion : The atoms in a covalent molecule are said to share electrons, yet some covalent molecule are polar.
Reason :In a polar covalent molecule , the shared electron spend more time on the average near one of the atoms .

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Due to `EN` differences of the atoms the bond becomes polar `A^(+delta) -B^(-delta)` .
