Question

Assertion: Between $N{a}^{+}$ and $A{g}^{+}$ ion, $A{g}^{+}$ is a stronger Lewis acid.

Reason: Larger the size of a cation, greater is its tendency to accept electrons.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true
  
• E. Both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

Between $N{a}^{+}$ and $A{g}^{+}$ ion, $A{g}^{+}$ is a stronger Lewis acid .
$A{g}^{+}$ is much larger in size than $A{g}^{+}$ ion.
It can easily accept a lone pair of electron from Lewis base.
