Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): pi-bonds are weaker than \(\sigma\) bonds.
Reason (R): pi-bonds are formed by the overlapping of p-p orbitals along their axes.
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
(A) (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
