Assertion : Diamond is a precious stone
Reason : carbon atomic are tetrahedrally arranged in dimond

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:
B
It is true that in the diamond structure, carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedrally (`sp^(3)` hybridized) but it is not the correct explanation of assertion.
