Question

Assertion (A): Benzene acts as non-electrolyte.

Reason (R): Benzene does not have free ions.

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Both A and R are true. Benzene contains molecules without free ions, so it does not conduct electricity and behaves as a non-electrolyte. Thus, R directly explains A.
