Assertion `:` `CH_(4)` does not react `Cl_(2)` in dark.
Reason`:` Chlorination of `CH_(4)` takes place in sunlight.

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 but 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:
B
Clorination of `CH_(4)` takes place either in presence of light or at high temperature, and not in dark because in darkness, `Cl` free radicals are not produced.
