Assertion (A) : Among the two O - H bonds in H_(2)Omolecule, the energy required to break the first O - H bond and the other O - H bond is the same. Reason (R) : This is because the electronic environment around oxygen is the same even after breakage of one O - H bond.

1.	Assertion (A) : Among the two O - H bonds in H_(2)Omolecule, the energy required to break the first O - H bond and the other O - H bond is the same. Reason (R) : This is because the electronic environment around oxygen is the same even after breakage of one O - H bond.
Answer» A and R both are CORRECT, and R is correct EXPLANATION of A. A and R both are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A. A is true but R is false. A and R both are false. Solution :Correct assertion : The bond ENTHALPIES of the two O-H bonds in H-O-H are not equal. Correct REASON : This is because electronic ENVIRONMENT around O is not same after breakage of one 0-H bond.
