a.
b.
c.
d.
Choose the correct option:
1. | (a, b) | 2. | (b, c) |
3. | (c, d) | 4. | (b, d) |
Assertion (A): | Carbon forms two oxides \(CO\) and \(CO_2\) where \(CO\) is neutral whereas \(CO_2\) is acidic. |
Reason (R): | \(CO_2\) will combine with water to give carbonic acid and \(CO\) is soluble in water. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
