Assertion : SeCl4 does not have a tetrahedral structure.
Reason : Se in SeCl4 has two lone pairs.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
C.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
SeCl4 posses see saw geometry, which can be regarded as a distorted trigonal bipyramidal structure, having one lone pair (lp) of electrons in the basal position of the trigonal bi-pyramidal. It arises due to sp3d hybridisation of the central atom. The distortion is basically due to the presence of one lone pair of electrons.
Assertion : B2 molecule is diamagnetic.
Reason : The highest occupied molecular orbital is of σ type.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
