Asseration: F-F bond in F(2) molecule is...

Asseration: `F-F` bond in `F_(2)` molecule is strong.
Reason: `F`-atom is small in size.

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
Due to small size of F –atom, repulsion of electrons is high in `F_2` molecule which makes F-F bond weak.
Hence assertion is false but reason is true.
