Assertion A : SF 6 is highly stable Reason (R) : SF 6 is a gas The correct option among the following is
Options
- A(A) is true, (R) is true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A)
- B(A) is true, (R) is true but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A)
- C(A) is true but (R) is false
- D(A) is false but (R) is true
Correct answer
B. (A) is true, (R) is true but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A)
Step-by-step solution
SF 6 is an octahedral compound. It is highly stable because it is chemically inert. The six atoms cover the sulphur and the other atoms can not react with sulphur. It is a chemically inert compound. So, it is highly stable compound. SF 6 is a gas. Hence, ( A ) is true, ( R ) is true but ( R ) is not the correct explanation for ( A ) .
