Q1

Here is the extracted text from the image:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): NH3 and NF3 molecule have pyramidal shape with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom. The resultant dipole moment of NH3 is greater than that of NF3.

Reason (R): In NH3, the orbital dipole due to lone pair is in the same direction as the resultant dipole moment of the N–H bonds. F is the most electronegative element.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

a

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

b

(A) is false but (R) is true

c

(A) is true but (R) is false

d

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
