Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: Dipole-dipole interactions are only non-covalent interactions, resulting in hydrogen bond formation.
Reason R: Fluorine is the most electronegative element and hydrogen bonds in HF are symmetrical.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
(a) A is false but R is true
(b) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
