Assertion: The surface tension of water is more than other liquid.
Reason: Water molecules have strong intermolecular H-bonding as attractive force.

A

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

B

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the 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:
A
Strong hydrogen bonding intermolecular force results in greater surface tension of water.
