Assertion Sulfur forms `SF_(6)` and also `SCI_(6)`
Reasoning Sulfur has vacant d-orbitals .

A

If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`

B

If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`

C

If `(A)` is correct but `(R )` is incorrect

D

If `(A)` is incorrect but `(R )` is correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Both `(A)` and `( R)` are correct But `(R )` is not the correct explantion of `(A)` since boiling points are not correlated with vacant d-orbitals but also on high `EN` of the atom to excite `e^(-')s` from central atom to vacant orbitals .
