CHXI04:CHEMICAL BONDING AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
313654
Assertion :
Ionic bond is non-directional.
Reason :
Each ion is surrounded by a uniformly distributed electric field.
1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
Explanation:
Each ion, due to the uniformly distributed electric field it creates, exhibits non-directional properties. Therefore the option (1) is correct.
