Assertion : Between SiCl4 and C Cl4 only...

Assertion : Between `SiCl_4` and `C Cl_4` only `SiCl_4` reacts with water.
Reason : `SiCl_4` is ionic and `C Cl_4` is covalent.

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).
