Assertion: `F` is more electronegative than `Cl`.
Reason: `F` has high electron affinity than `Cl`.

A

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

B

If the 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 assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Chloirne has high electron affinity than fluorine. The less negative electron gain enthalpy of fluorine as compared to chlorine is due to very small size of the fluorine atom.
