JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 26th February Morning Shift - No. 6)

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 the 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 :
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
A is true but R is false
A is false but R is true
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Explanation

Dipole - Dipole are not only the interaction responsible for hydrogen bond formation. Ion-dipole can also be responsible for hydrogen bond formation.

F is most electronegative element and anhydrous HF in solid phase has symmetrical hydrogen bonding.
