Question

Assertion : In water, a nonelectrolyte does not ionize.
Reason : The ionic solution does not conduct electricity.

• 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 C Assertion is true but Reason is false

Statement I : In water, a nonelectrolyte does not ionize.
For example, urea and glucose are non-electrolytes. They do not ionize in water.
Statement II : The ionic solution does conduct electricity.
Thus aqueous $NaCl$ solution conducts electricity as $NaCl$ dissociates into $N{a}^{+}$ ions and chloride $C{l}^{-}$ ions.
$NaCl\rightleftharpoons N{a}^{+}+C{l}^{-}$.
Statement I is True, Statement II is False
