Assertion: Group 15 elements can form covalent compounds by sharing electrons.
Reason: Group 15 elements have five valence electrons, which allows them to form covalent bonds with other elements.
Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
The assertion is false, but the reason is true.
Group 15 elements have five valence electrons, which means that they can share these electrons with other elements to form covalent bonds. This is the Reason why they can form covalent compounds. The Assertion is correct as it highlights the ability of Group 15 elements to form covalent bonds. Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and the Reason is the correct explanation for the Assertion. Hence option 1 is the correct answer.
Option(2) Both assertion and reason are true and the reason explains assertion correctly. Hence option 2 is incorrect.
Option(3) Both assertion and reason are true. Hence option 3 is incorrect.
Option(4) Both assertion and reason are true. Hence option 4 is incorrect.
