Assertion Bakelite is first completely synthesized thermoplastic. Reason Thermos
Assertion Bakelite is first completely synthesized thermoplastic. Reason Thermosetting plastics are harder.
- A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
- B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
- C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
- D. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Step-by-step solution
Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic, not thermoplastic; thus assertion false. Thermosetting plastics are indeed harder, so reason true.
