Assertion (A) Helium has lowest boiling point (4.2 K). Reason (R) The forces that exist between helium atoms are weak dispersion forces.
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of ((A) ).
- BBoth ((A) ) and ((R) ) are correct but ((R) ) is not the correct explanation of (A).
- C((A) ) is correct but ((R) ) is incorrect.
- D(A) is incorrect but ((R) ) is correct
Correct answer
A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of ((A) ).
Step-by-step solution
Helium has lowest boiling point (4.2 K) because the forces of attraction between ( He ) atoms are weak dispersion forces. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct and reason (( R ) ) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
