Statement-I: `SiF_(6)^(-2)` is known but `SiCl_(6)^(-2)` in not known
Statement-II: Interaction of 'F' lone pair electrons with 'Si' is stronger than that of chlorine and due to smaller size of 'F' steric repulsion will bel less.

A

Statement-I is True, Statement-II is True : Statement-II is a correct explanation for Statement-I

B

Statement-I is True, Statement-II is True : Statement-II is `NOT` a correct explanation for Statement-I

[SiF_(6)]^(2-) is known where as [SiCl_(6)]^(2-) not. Reason is

[SiF_(6)]^(2-) is a well known compound but [SiCl_(6)[^(2-) is not. Explain.

Assertion: SiF_(6)^(2-) is known but SiCl_(6)^(2-) is not. Reason: Size of fluorine is small and its lone pair of electrons intersects with d-orbitals of Si strongly.

In SiF_(6)^(-2) because of small size of F

Statement-1: Fluorine has less electron affinity than chlorine. Statement-2 : Due to small size, more electron-electron repulsions are observed in F.
