Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure

Assertion (A) Among the two \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds in \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) molecule, the energy required to break the first \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bond and the other \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bond is same.

Reason (R) This is because the electronic environment around oxygen is the same even after breakage of one \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bond.
