Assertion. Nitrogen is less reactive than molecular oxygen.
Reason. The bond length of `N_(2)` is shorter than that of oxygen.

A

If both assertion and reason are true, and 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 both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Correct explanation. Because of the presence of a triple bond, bond dissociation energy of nitrogen is much higher than that of oxygen.
