Assertion: `C_(2)H_(5)O` is more reactive than `C_(2)H_(5)CI`.
Reason: I being less electronegative than `CI.`

A

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

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanantion of the asseriton.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion if false but reason is ture.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`C_(2)H_(5)I` is more reactive than `C_(2)H_(5)CI` due to lower bond enegry of `CI -I` bond than `C-CI` bond.
