Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In NH3, N is sp3 hybridised, but angle is found to be 107°.
Reason (R): The decrease in bond angle is due to repulsion between the lone pair- bond pair.
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
(C) Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
