Between `SiCl_(4)` and `C Cl_(4)`, only `SiCl_(4)` reacts with water.
`SiCl_(4)` is ionic and `C Cl_(4)` is covalent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Assertion `(A)` is correct, but Reason `( R)` is incorrect, `SiCl_(4)` also has covalent bonds. `C Cl_(4)` does not get hydrolysed because carbon does not have vacant d-orbitals, so water cannot donate lone pair of electrons to start the reaction.
