NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): Li2 molecule is stable. | Reason (R): The bond order of Li2 is 0.
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.
