NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
Assertion (A): The chemical reactivity of fluorine as an oxidizing agent is higher than that of oxygen. | Reason (R): Across a period, non-metallic character increases and influences oxidizing properties.
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.
