Solution
The correct option is A
Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is correct
explanation for Assertion
In BF3 molecule, the B−F bond has some double bond character whereas in BF−4 ion, all the four B−F bonds are single bonds. Hence, the B−F bond lengths in BF3 and BF−4 are different. Thus, Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is correct
explanation for Assertion.
