Chemistry-VSEPR Theory
NEET Chemistry VSEPR Theory Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): The VSEPR theory can predict the geometry of p-block element compounds accurately. | Reason (R): The theoretical basis of VSEPR theory regarding electron pair repulsions is well-established and undisputed.
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.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The VSEPR theory is successful in predicting the geometry of many p-block element compounds, but the theoretical basis regarding electron pair repulsions is not clear and is subject to doubt and discussion.
