Assertion : Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent in comparison to O2\mathrm{O}_2. Reason : Ozone is diamagnetic but O2\mathrm{O}_2 is paramagnetic.Assertion : Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent in comparison to O_2 . Reason : Ozone is diamagnetic but O_2 isAssertion : Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent in comparison to O_2 . Reason : Ozone is diamagnetic but O_2 is

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
  3. CIf assertion is true but reason is false
  4. 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

Due to the ease with which it can liberate nascent oxygen, O3\mathrm{O}_3 acts as a powerful oxidising agent. \mathrm{O}}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{O}}_{2}+O\mathrm{O}Assertion : Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent in comparison to O_2 . Reason : Ozone is diamagnetic but O_2 is
