Assertion (A) The boiling points of noble gases increases from He to Xe. Reason (R) The interatomic van der Waals' attractive forces increases from He to Xe . The correct answer is
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- BBoth ( A ) and ( R ) are true, and ( R ) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- C(A) is true but (R) is not true
- D(A) is not true but (R) is true
Correct answer
A. Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Step-by-step solution
As the size of noble gases increases from He to Xe, van der Waals' forces increases and due to which boiling point increases.
