Assertion (A) The property of adsorption is shown to a great extent by solids than liquids.
Reason (R) Solids like charcoal, silica can act as good adsorbents.
$\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct and $\mathrm{R}$ is the correct explanation for $\mathrm{A}$.
$\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is not the correct explanation for $\mathrm{A}$.
$\mathrm{A}$ is correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is incorrect.
$\mathrm{A}$ is incorrect but $\mathrm{R}$ is correct.
Solution
Both Assertion and Reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
The property of adsorption is shown to a great extent by solids than liquids as extent of adsorption increases with surface area of adsorbent.
Solids like charcoal, silica can act as good absorbents because of increased surface area.
