Question

Assertion (A): Ammonia cannot exhibit hydrogen bonding in solid and liquid states.
Reason (R): Ammonia has higher melting and boiling points than predicted.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect
• D. (A) is incorrect but (R) is correct

Hint:

NH\(_3\) exhibits hydrogen bonding but weaker than H\(_2\)O due to lower electronegativity of nitrogen.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
