NEET2009ChemistryGeneral Organic ChemistryActual
Assertion : Sodium formate has both the C - O bonds have same value 1.27 Å . Reason: Equal bond length is due to the phenomenon of resonance.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
