Solution
The correct option is B
Both Statement 1 and
Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of
Statement 1.
Statement 1: The water molecule is polar due to electronegativity difference between O and H atoms and non linear structure of water molecule.. Statement 2: The radius of an oxygen atom is greater than that of a hydrogen atom because the number of electrons and nucleons in O atom is much more than the number of electrons and protons in H atom. Hence, both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
