Assertion (A) : Carbon dioxide is a gas but silicon dioxide is an infusible solid.

Reason (R) : Carbon dioxide has a linear Ο€\pi-bonded structure.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true but R\mathbf{R} is not the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}.
Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason doesn't explain the assertion. The difference in physical state is due to the difference in bonding and structure, not just the linear pi-bonded structure of CO2.
