Assertion: Amongst the halogen fluorine can oxidise the elements to highest oxidation state. Reason: Due to small size of fluoride ion. It is difficult to oxidise fluoride ion to fluorine. Hence, reverse reaction takes place more easily.A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
C) If assertion is true but reason is false
