Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The metal carbon bond in metal carbonyls possesses both σ\sigma and π\pi character. Reason (R): The ligand to metal bond is a σ\sigma bond and metal to ligand bond is a π\pi bond. In the light of the above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Multiple Choice Options

  • A (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
  • B Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
