Assertion (A): Acidity of bond decreases in the order
Reason (R): Acidity of the bond decreases as the electronegativity of the carbon to which it is attached decreases.
Reason (R): Acidity of the bond decreases as the electronegativity of the carbon to which it is attached decreases.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
Both A & R are correct and R is correct explanation of A because the acidity of C-H bond is directly related to the s-character of the carbon atom, which also affects its electronegativity.
