Solution
The correct option is E Both assertion and reason are incorrect. Formula mass of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is 1 mole of MgCl2 which has avogadro number of magnesium ions i.e., 6.022×1023 magnesium ions. One formula mass of an ionic compound has ions equal to product number of atoms and avogadro number of each type of atoms.
