Assertion (A): Among the two O-H bonds in `H_(2)O` molecule, the energy required to break the first O-H bond and the other O-H bond is the same.
Reason (R) This is because the electronic environment around oxygen is the same even after brekage of one O-H bond.

A

A and R both are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

B

A and R both are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A

C

A is true, but R is false

D

A and R both are false.

Text Solution

The correct Answer is:
d
d) Correct assertion: The bond enthalpies of the two O-H bonds in H-O-H are not equal.
Correct Reason: This is because electronic environment around O is not same after breakage of one O-H bond.
