Assertion: The degree of association of a weak electrolyte in a solution is greater than that of a strong electrolyte.
Reasoning: Weak electrolytes do not ionise completely in a solution, whereas strong electrolytes ionise completely.
Both Assertion and Reasoning are correct, and the Reasoning is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reasoning are correct, but the Reasoning is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Assertion is correct, but the Reasoning is incorrect.
Assertion is incorrect, but the Reasoning is correct.
The assertion that the degree of association of a weak electrolyte in a solution is greater than that of a strong electrolyte is correct. Weak electrolytes are partially ionised in a solution, and thus, they tend to associate more than the strong electrolytes, which are completely ionised in a solution. However, the reasoning that weak electrolytes do not ionise completely in a solution, whereas strong electrolytes ionise completely is incorrect. Weak electrolytes partially ionised in a solution, but they still ionise to some extent, whereas strong electrolytes completely ionise in a solution. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.
