Solution
Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Explanation:
All halogens combine with copper to form copper halides except iodine. The reason behind this is that \[\ce{Cu^2+}\] oxidises iodide (-1) to iodine (0). Therefore, \[\ce{Cu^2+}\] iodide does not exist .Both the statements assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
