Assertion (A) Among halogens fluorine is...

Assertion (A) Among halogens fluorine is the best oxidation.
Reason ( R) Fluorine is the most electronegative atom

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

C

A is true but R is false

D

Both A and R are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. Among halogen `F_(2)` is the best oxidant because it has the highest `E^(@)` value
