Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion

Question:

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $\mathbf{A}$ and the other labelled as Reason $\mathbf{R}$.

Assertion A : Lithium halides are some what covalent in nature.

Reason R : Lithium possess high polarisation capability.

  1. $\mathbf{A}$ is true but $\mathbf{R}$ is false

  2. $\mathbf{A}$ is false but $\mathbf{R}$ is true

  3. Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true but $\mathbf{R}$ is NOT the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$

  4. Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true and $\mathbf{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

Lithium due to small size has very high polarization capability and thus increases covalent nature in Halides. Activate Windows
