Question

Assertion: In the reaction,$SnC{l}_4+2C{l}^{-1}\to {\left[SnC{l}_6\right]}^{2-}$, $SnC{l}_4$ is a Lewis acid.
Reason: Lewis acid accepts electrons.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true
• E. Both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

In the reaction,$SnC{l}_4+2C{l}^{-1}\to {\left[SnC{l}_6\right]}^{2-}$, $SnC{l}_4$ is a Lewis acid.
Lewis acid is a chemical species that reacts with a Lewis base to form a Lewis adduct.
