NEET Chemistry Electrolytic Cells Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): The standard electrode potential of fluorine is the highest among the elements listed, indicating its strong tendency to get reduced. | Reason (R): A positive standard electrode potential implies that the reduced form of the species is more stable than hydrogen gas.
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
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true, and R explains A. A high positive standard electrode potential indicates a strong tendency to be reduced, as seen with fluorine. This also implies the reduced form is more stable than hydrogen gas.
