Assertion : Anhydrous copper (II) chloride is covalent while anhydrous copper (II) fluoride is ionic in nature.
Reason : In halides of transition metals, the ionic character decreases with increase in atomic mass of the halogen.

A

Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 1.

B

Statement 1 is 'True, Statement 2 is True, Statcmcnt2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.

D

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Anhydrous copper (II) chloride is a covalent while anhydrous copper (II) fluoride is ionic in nature because in halides of transition metals, the ionic character decreases with increase in atomic mass of the halogen. Fluorine being the most electronegative, foms ionic salt with copper.
