Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Heat of Formation or enthalpy of Formation: The amount of heat absorbed or evolved when 1 mole of the substance is directly obtained from its constituent elements in their standard state is called “Heat of formation”.
The energy required to break the bond is termed as bond dissociation
energy. More precisely we can say that the amount of energy required to break one mole of bond of a particular type between the atoms in the gaseous state, i.e., to separate the atoms in the gaesous state
under one atm. pressure and the specified temperature is called bond dissociation energy.
The bond dissociation energy of a diatomic molecule is also called bond energy. However, the bond dissociation energy depends upon the nature of bond and also the molecule in which the bond is present.
As both enthalpy of formation and bond energy involve the formation of one mole of HCl from the elements so they both are same.
