Assertion : $\mathrm{F}_2$ and $\mathrm{Cl}_2$ when passed through water, $\mathrm{F}_2$ is more reactive. Reason : $\mathrm{F}_2$ is most electronegative.
  1. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. If assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

$F_2$ is more reactive because of higher electrode potential value.
