Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R: Assertion (A): A reaction can have zero activation energy. Reason (R): The minimum extra amount of energy absorbed by reactant molecules so that their energy becomes equal to threshold value, is called activation energy. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• C. A is true but R is false
• D. A is false but R is true

Hint:

In Assertion-Reason questions, first check whether each statement is independently true, then verify whether the Reason logically explains the Assertion.
