Between `SiCl_(4)` and `C Cl_(4)`, only `SiCl_(4)` reacts with water.
`SiCl_(4)` is ionic and `C Cl_(4)` is covalent.

A

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 si a correct explanation for statement 7

B

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement 7

C

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false

D

Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`SiCl_(4)` undergoes hydrolysis due to the presence of empty d orbitals in the valence shell of Si, while C has no vacant d orbitals to accommodate electron pairs donated by water molecules during hydrolysis.
