Interhalogen compound group 17 text th ICl is more reactive due to polar bonds. From NCERT - X-X' bond is weaker than X - X bond except F 2

(A) is not correct but (R) is correct.

Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of $(A)$ .

Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

(A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
