NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Hybrid orbitals are more effective in forming stable bonds than pure atomic orbitals. | Reason (R): Hybrid orbitals are directed in space to minimize repulsion between electron pairs.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
