उत्तर
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation:
- Assertion (A) is true because ethanol (a covalent compound) has much lower melting and boiling points compared to sodium chloride (an ionic compound).
- Reason (R) is also true because ionic compounds like sodium chloride have very strong electrostatic forces of attraction between ions, which require a large amount of energy to break.
- These strong forces are the reason why sodium chloride has high melting and boiling points, correctly explaining the assertion.
