Q.

Statement-1: The crystal structure of NaHCO3 and KHCO3, both show intermolecular hydrogen bonding but are different.
Statement-2: In NaHCO3 the HCO3- ions are linked together through intermolecular hydrogen n bonds into an infinite chain, while in KHCO3HCO3- ions form dimerie anions through intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Detailed Solution

Na+HCO3- has extensive hydrogen bonding and thus is the only insoluble bicarbonate.
Both the crystal structures of NaHCO3 and KHCO3 exhibit intermolecular hydrogen bonds, yet they are distinct from one another. while in KHCO33, HCO3- ions form dimeric anions by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the HCO3- ions in NaHCO3 are joined together through intermolecular hydrogen n bonds to create an endless chain.
Hence, correct option is A
