Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason. Assertion: Flourine forms one oxoacid. Reason: Flourine has smallest size amongst all halogens and is highly electronegative. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the Question: options given below.

Options

  1. ABoth assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. BBoth assertion and reason are correct and but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. CAssertion is correct and reason is incorrect
  4. DAssertion is incorrect and reason is correct

Correct answer

A. Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Step-by-step solution

Due to small size and high electronegativity F can not act as central atom in higher oxidation state.So, fluorine forms only one oxoacid.The other halogens form several oxoacids.
