Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The lesser the lattice enthalpy, more stable is the ionic compound.
Reason (R): The lattice enthalpy is greater, for ions of highest charge and smaller radii.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
- (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
- Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (R)
Answer
(B) (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
