Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): BF3 molecule has zero dipole moment.
Reason (R): F is electronegative and B-F bonds are polar in nature.
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)
