Assertion : Between SiCl(4) and C Cl(4) ...

Assertion : Between `SiCl_(4)` and `C Cl_(4)` only `SiCl_(4)` reacts with water.
Reason : `SiCl_(4)` is ionic and `C Cl_(4)` is covalent.

A

If both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason not is the true explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Correct reason. Si has d-orbitals to accept electrons donated by water but C does not.
Therefore, `SiCl_(4)` reacts with water but `"CCl"_(4)` does not.
