Assertion: `Si-Si` bonds are much weaker than `Si-O` bonds.
Reason: Silicon forms double bonds with itself.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of teh assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason in not the correct explation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer

C

Explanation

Assertion: `{:("bond",,"bond energy"),(Si-Si,,297 kJ//mol),(Si-O,,464 kJ//mol):}`
Reason: Silicon does not from `Si=Si` because of larger atomic size
