Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect NO2 is a brown color gas and N2O4 is colorless solid. In N2O4, there is no dative bond between two NO2 molecules. It is the bond formed by a single electron on N atom in NO2 with two NO2 molecules. Assertion is correct but reason is wrong.
