Assertion : F ₂ and Cl ₂ when passed through water, F ₂ is more reactive. Reason : F ₂ is most electronegative.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
F₂ is more reactive because of higher electrode potential value.
