Assertion : Teflon has high thermal stability and chemical inertness.
Reason : Teflon is a thermoplastic.
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
Due to presence of strong C-F bonds teflon has high thermal stability and chemical inertness. As, it softens on heating and can be remoulded. So, it is a thermoplastic.
