Question

Assertion: NaCl forms an ionic crystal.
Reason: In NaCl, atoms have electrostatic forces of attraction.
Options are-
a) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
c) If assertion is true but reason is false.
d) If both assertion and reason are false.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Both are true and the reason is also right because the strong electrostatic force between Na+ and Cl- ions forms the unit cell for ionic crystal lattice.

Good day :)
