In the following question, an Assertion (A) is followed by a corresponding Reason (R). Use the following keys to choose the appropriate answer.
Assertion : In the formation of water molecule, both hydrogen and oxygen atoms attain octet of electrons.
Reason : Oxygen atom forms two ionic or electrovalent bonds with two hydrogen atoms.

A

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

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If both (A) and (R) are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In the formation of water molecule, oxygen atom forms covalent bond with each hydrogen atom by sharing electrons so as to complete duplet of hydrogen atom and octet of oxygen atom.
