Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Ends of the dipoles possess 'partial charges' which are always less than the unit electronic charge $(1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C)$ present in ions. Thus, dipole-dipole forces are weaker than ion-ion interactions.
