Assertion : Dinegative anion of oxygen is quite common but dinegative anion of sulphur is less common.
Reason : Covalency of oxygen is two.
Reason : Covalency of oxygen is two.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
The correct answer is C (If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect) because while the dinegative oxygen anion is common, the reason given (covalency of oxygen is two) is not the primary explanation. The stability of O2- is due to oxygen's high electron gain enthalpy.
