Note : In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
Assertion : Polytetrafluoroethene is used in making non-stick cookwares.
Reason : Fluorine has highest electronegativity.
Teflon (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is used to make non-stick cookware as it is chemically inert and thermally stable.
Fluorine has the highest electronegativity due to the small size and high nuclear charge.
Thus, both the assertion and the reason are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
