Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Atoms can combine either by transfer of valence of electrons from one atom to another or by sharing of valence electrons.
Reason (R): Sharing and transfer of valence electrons is done by atoms to have an octet in their valence shell.
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)
