Assertion (A) Toxic metal ions are removed by the chelating ligands.
Reason (R) Chelate complexes tend to be more stable.

A

Assertion and reason both are true, reason is correct explanation of assertion.

B

Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

Assertion is true, reason is false.

D

Assertion is false, reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Toxic metal ions are removed by chelating ligands. When a solution of chelating ligand is added to solution containing toxic metals ligands chelates the metal ions by formation of stable complex.
