उत्तर
A is false but R is true.
Explanation:
Electrovalent compounds are excellent electrical conductors when they are molten or in an aqueous condition, but they do not conduct electricity when they are solid because they cannot dissociate into ions. Therefore, the assertion (A) is untrue. Ions that are locked together by a strong electrostatic force of attraction and are difficult to separate make up electrovalent compounds. Reason (R) is therefore true.
