Question
Assertion (A): Sodium chloride formed by the action of chlorine gas on sodium metal is a stable compound.
Reason (R): This is because sodium and chloride ions acquire octet in sodium chloride formation.
Options
A and R both are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A.
A and R both are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A and R both are false.
Solution
A and R both are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Sodium chloride \[\ce{(Na^{+}Cl^{-})}\] is stable ionic compound because both \[\ce{Na+}\] and \[\ce{Cl–}\] ions have complete octet in outermost shell.
