The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that when two gaseous OF (oxygen difluoride) molecules are allowed to cool, they undergo dimerization through an oxygen atom. - **Explanation**: Dimerization is a process where two molecules combine to form a larger molecule. In this case, two OF molecules can combine to form O2F2 (dioxide difluoride) when cooled. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that the dimer form of the OF molecule (O2F2) contains one peroxy linkage in its structure. - **Explanation**: A peroxy linkage refers to a bond between two oxygen atoms, typically represented as -O-O-. In the case of O2F2, we need to examine its structure to determine if such a linkage exists. ### Step 3: Analyzing the Structure of O2F2 The structure of O2F2 can be compared to that of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which does have a peroxy linkage. However, O2F2 has a different arrangement. - **Structure**: The structure of O2F2 is not like H2O2 in terms of having a peroxy linkage. Instead, it has a more open structure with fluorine atoms bonded to oxygen atoms, and there is no -O-O- bond present. ### Conclusion - **Assertion**: True - The dimerization of OF to form O2F2 does occur when cooled. - **Reason**: False - O2F2 does not have a peroxy linkage in its structure. Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer Assertion is true, but the reason is false. ---
