MCQ
Direction : In the following Questions, the Assertion and Reason have been put forward. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion : Increasing order of acidity of hydrogen halides is $\ce{HF < HCl < HBr < HI}$
Reason : While comparing acids formed by the elements belonging to the same group of periodic table, $H-A$ bond strength is a more important factor in determining acidity of an acid than the polar nature of the bond.
  • Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    Both assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  • D
    Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
