Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion The amides generally have high boiling points and melting points. It is due to strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding in their molecules.
These
characteristics and their solubility in water result from the polar
nature of the amide group and hydrogen bonding.
Hence, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
