Formate ion shows resonance and gives rise to identical bond lengths.

Q. Assertion: Sodium formate has both the C−O bonds have same value 1.27A˚. Reason: Equal bond length is due to the phenomenon of resonance.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

Formate ion shows resonance and gives rise to identical bond lengths.

Q. Assertion: Sodium formate has both the $C - O$ bonds have same value $1.27 \overset{˚}{A}$ .
Reason: Equal bond length is due to the phenomenon of resonance.
