Question

Assertion : $CH_2Cl_2$ is non-polar and $CCl_4$ is polar molecule.
Reason : Molecule with zero dipole moment is non-polar in nature.

• A. If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
• B. If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
• C. If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
• D. If the Assertion is incorrect and Reason is correct.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Assertion is false but reason is true. $CH _2 Cl _2$ is polar while $CCl _4$ is non-polar because in $CCl _4$ net dipole moment cancels.
