Ionic bonds are non-directional while covalent bonds are directional.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason in not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Covalent bond between two atoms is formed by pairing of electrons present in the valence shell having opposite spins ( orbital overlap concept). Covalent bonds are directional in nature as hybrid orbitals are involved in bond formation which are directed in space in some preferred directions. (valence bond theory).
