4. Given below are two statements : One is
labelled as Assertion A and the other is
labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : Dipole-dipole interactions are
only non-covalent interactions, resulting in
hydrogen bond formation.
Reason R : Fluorine is the most
electronegative element and hydrogen bonds
in HF are symmetrical.
