Solution
The correct option is BBoth Assertion and Reason is true and Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion Assertion : The NH3 molecule is more polar compared to NF3 molecule.
The electronegativity difference between N and H is greater than the electronegativity difference between N and F.
Reason: Fluorine atoms are larger compare to hydrogen atoms and fluorine atoms have the additional shell of electrons.
Thus, both statements are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
