Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:
(a) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Assertion: Fluorine is stronger oxidizing agent than chlorine
Reason: High F-F bond dissociation enthalpy and low hydration enthalpy of F-.

Assertion: Fluorine is stronger oxidizing agent than chlorine
Reason: High F-F bond dissociation enthalpy and low hydration enthalpy of F-.
The correct option is B B
D- Bond dissociation energy, E.A- Electron affinity and Hydr- Hydration energy
Even though electron affinity of fluorine is less negative than chlorine, its bond dissociation energy is low and hydration energy is high due to small atomic size.
D- Bond dissociation energy, E.A- Electron affinity and Hydr- Hydration energy
Even though electron affinity of fluorine is less negative than chlorine, its bond dissociation energy is low and hydration energy is high due to small atomic size.
