Assertion: In covalent bonding, the sharing of electrons between atoms results in the formation of a stable molecule.
Reasoning: Covalent bonds are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to anothe
Both assertion and reasoning are true and the reasoning is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both assertion and reasoning are true but the reasoning is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Assertion is true, but the reasoning is false.
Assertion is false, but the reasoning is true.
In covalent bonding, atoms share valence electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration in their outermost shell. This sharing results in the formation of a stable molecule, making the assertion true. However, the reasoning is false because covalent bonds do not involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, but rather the sharing of electrons.
