Assertion : More is the electron affinity greater is the reducing character.
Reason : Reducing character depends on number of electrons gained.

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 reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Assertion : False
Reducing character increases with the increased tendency to loose electrons. The reducing agent reduce the other element and oxidize itself. So as the electron affinity increases the tendency to loose electrons decreases.
Reason : False
Reducing character depends on number of electrons loose.
