Assertion (A) Polytetrafluoroethene is used in making non-stick cookwaters.
Reason (R) Fluorine has highest electronegativity.
(a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statement But reason does not explain Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason both are correct statement and Reason explains the Assertion.
(c) Both assertion and reason are wrong statements.
(d) Assertion is correct statement and Reason is wrong statement.
(e) Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement.
