Statement -1: Methyl isocyanide has higher boiling point than methyl cyanide. And
Statement -2: Methyl cyanide has co-ordinate bond between N and C.

A

If both assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Dipole moment of methyl cyanide is higher than the dipole moment of methyl isocyanide, i.e., the formar one is more polar and thus, has the greater attractive forces. Thus, the boilig point of methyl cyanide is higher than the boiling point of methyl isocyanide.
