Assertion: Silicon forms stable hydrides, whereas boron does not.

Reason: Boron has a lower electronegativity than silicon.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

The correct answer is A because boron's lower electronegativity compared to silicon makes it difficult to form stable hydrides.
