Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and...
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason .
Assertion : Dipole-dipole interactions are the only non-covalent interactions, resulting in hydrogen bond formation.
Reason : Fluorine is the most electronegative element and hydrogen bonds in are symmetrical.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- A is false but is true
- BBoth and are true but is NOT the correct explanation of
- C is true but is false
- DBoth and are true and is the correct explanation of
Correct answer
A. is false but is true
Step-by-step solution
Assertion is incorrect since in hydrogen bonding, Dipole-dipole interactions are noncovalent but ion-dipole interaction can also result in -bond formation.
Reason is correct since is most electronegative element & structure is
Symmetrical -bonds are present
