Assertion : Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Reason: There are vacant spaces between hydrogen bonded water molecules in ice.

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:
A
It is correct that during formation of Ice from water there are vacant spaces between hydrogen bonded molecules of Ice. Ice has a cage like structure. Due to this reason Ice is less dense than liquid water. hence both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
