Assertion (A): Among the two O–H bonds in H2O molecule, the energy required to break the first O–H bond and the other O–H bond is the same.
Reason (R) : This is because the electronic environment around oxygen is the same even after breakage of one O–H bond.
(i) A and R both are correct, and R is correct explanation of A.
(ii) A and R both are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(iii) A is true but R is false.
(iv) A and R both are false.

This is a Assertion Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: Option (iv)
Both the statements given in the assertion and reason are false.
The energy required to break the first O-H bond is not same than that of the second O-H bond in water molecule, that means the bond enthalpies of the two O-Hare different. This is because the electronic environment around the oxygen atom in water molecules is not the same even after the O-H bond breaks.

The three types of chemical bonds are - ionic, metallic and covalent bonds. When the electrons transfer between the atoms, they form the Ionic bonds by producing charged ions that are attracted to each other. When atoms share electrons, covalent bonds are created. When metal atoms share a sea of delocalized electrons, metallic bonds get created.
