Assertion : The O-O bond length in H2O2 ...

Assertion : The O-O bond length in `H_2O_2` is shorter than that of `O_2F_2`
Reason : `H_2O_2` is an ionic compound.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

B

If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

C

If Assertion is correct , but Reason is incorrect

D

If both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The O-O bond length in `H_2O_2` is longer than that in `O_2F_2`. Flurine attracts electrons towards it. Since electrons are more attracted towards the oxygen atoms the O-O bond becomes shorter.
