Assertion : When sodium hydride in fused state is electrolysed, hydrogen is dicharged at anode.
Reason : Sodium hydride is an electrovalent compound in which hydrogen is present as cation.

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 is 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:
