Assertion:

\mathrm{SO}_2

(at. room temp.) and

\mathrm{SeO}_2

(at higher temperature vapour condition) have same shape.

Reason: Covalent radius of

\mathrm{Se}

is some what oxidising agent. larger than sulphur.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion

Option B (If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because both the shape similarity and the larger covalent radius of Se are true, but the radius isn't the direct cause of the shape.
