The p-Block Elements

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): ICl is more reactive than .

Reason (R): The I–Cl bond is weaker than the I–I bond.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A.(A) is not correct but (R) is correct
  2. B.Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)✓
  3. C.Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  4. D.(A) is correct but (R) is not correct

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
