Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion A and the other labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : Lithium halides are some what covalent in nature.
Reason R : Lithium posses high polarisation capability.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
A
A is true but R is false
B
A is false but R is true
C
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
D
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Explanation
Lithium due to small size has very high polarization capability and thus increases covalent nature of Halides.
