Question

Statement 1: Between SiCl4 and CCl4, only SiCl4 reacts with water. Statement 2: SiCl4 is ionic and CCl4 is covalent. (A) If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1. (B) Ifboth Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1. (C) If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false. (D) If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true

Both are covalent. SiCl4 hydrolysis is due to presence of (d-orbitals).

Q. Statement 1: Between $S i C l_{4}$ and $CC l_{4}$ , only $S i C l_{4}$ reacts with water.
Statement 2: $S i C l_{4}$ is ionic and $CC l_{4}$ is covalent.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1.

Ifboth Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.
