Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as
Assertion: HOP bond angle is higher than \[HOCl\] bond angle in \[HOX\]. Reason: Oxygen is more electronegative than halogens.A) If both Assertion: and Reason: are true and the Reason: is the correct explanation of the Assertion:
B) If both Assertion: and Reason: are true but the Reason: is not the correct explanation of the Assertion:
C) If Assertion: is true but Reason: is false
D) If both Assertion: and Reason: are false
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
\[HOCl\] bond angle is greater than \[HOF\] born angle. This is due to very small size of fluorine or due to op-bp repulsion. Oxygen is more electronegative than all halogens except fluorine (most electronegative). Thus, Assertion: as well as Reasoms incorrect.
