Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$ :
Assertion $A$ : The $H-O-H$ bond angle in water molecule is $104.5^{\circ}$.
Reason $R$ : The lone pair $-$ lone pair repulsion of electrons is higher than the bond pair $-$ bond pair repulsion.

  • A
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true,but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true,and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$

Give the correct order of initials $T$ or $F$ for following statements. Use $T$ if statement is true and $F$ if it is false:
$(I)$ The order of repulsion between different pair of electrons is $lp-lp > lp-bp > bp-bp$.
$(II)$ In general,as the number of lone pair of electrons on the central atom increases,the deviation of the bond angle from the normal bond angle increases.
$(III)$ The number of lone pairs on $O$ in $H_2O$ is $2$,while on $N$ in $NH_3$ is $1$.
$(IV)$ The structures of xenon fluorides and xenon oxyfluorides could not be explained on the basis of $VSEPR$ theory.
