Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Due to the resonance in the acetylacetonate ligand, all the bond lengths (of bonds involved in six member ring with chelates) are equal. This is because the bond order of single and double bond becomes to 1.5.
