Assertion (A) : The size of a cation is ...

Assertion (A) : The size of a cation is larger in `TV` than in `OV`.
Reason (R ) : Cations occupy more space than anions is crystals packing.

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
Correct (A): `OV` is larger in size than `TV`.
Correct (R): Cations are generally smaller. They occupy void instead of lattice points and hence occupy less space.
