NEET Chemistry Covalent Bond Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): Sigma (σ) bonds are generally stronger than pi (π) bonds. | Reason (R): Sigma bonds result from end-to-end overlap of orbitals along the internuclear axis.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option A
