The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about SnI₄, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that SnI₄ is an orange solid. - **True or False?**: This statement is **true**. SnI₄ (tin(IV) iodide) is indeed known to appear as an orange solid. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that the color arises due to charge transfer. - **True or False?**: This statement is also **true**. The orange color of SnI₄ arises from the absorption of blue light, which indicates that the color we see is due to the reflection of red and orange light. This absorption is due to charge transfer, where electrons are transferred from iodine (I) to tin (Sn). ### Step 3: Establish the Relationship Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - The color of SnI₄ is indeed due to charge transfer, as the absorption of blue light leads to the transfer of electrons from iodine to tin. This process is what gives SnI₄ its characteristic orange color. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, the final answer is that both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion (A)**: True - **Reason (R)**: True - **Conclusion**: Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ---
