The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason provided, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that in `BrF3`, the oxidation state of F is +3. - To determine the oxidation state of fluorine in `BrF3`, we need to recall that fluorine is the most electronegative element and typically has an oxidation state of -1 in compounds. 2. **Calculating the Oxidation State of Bromine (Br)**: - In `BrF3`, there are three fluorine atoms. Since each fluorine has an oxidation state of -1, the total contribution from fluorine is: \[ 3 \times (-1) = -3 \] - Let the oxidation state of bromine be \( x \). The overall charge of the molecule is neutral (0), so we can set up the equation: \[ x + (-3) = 0 \] - Solving for \( x \): \[ x - 3 = 0 \implies x = +3 \] - Therefore, the oxidation state of bromine (Br) is +3, and the oxidation state of fluorine (F) is -1, not +3. 3. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that the electronegativity of F is more than that of bromine. - This statement is true. Fluorine is indeed more electronegative than bromine, which explains why fluorine typically has a negative oxidation state in compounds. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion (A) is false (the oxidation state of F in `BrF3` is -1, not +3), and the reason (R) is true (fluorine is more electronegative than bromine), we conclude that: - Assertion (A) is false. - Reason (R) is true. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct answer is that Assertion (A) is false, and Reason (R) is true. Therefore, the correct option is D.
