JEE Main Chemistry question

**Assertion:** and are thermally unstable. **Reason:** They produce the same gas on thermal decomposition.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for AssertionCorrect
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True

Answer: (B)

Solution

Both and are indeed thermally unstable and decompose on heating (Assertion true), and both do release the same gas, chlorine (Reason true). However, the thermal instability of each compound stems from the general preference
