The boiling point of is higher than that of because :
(1) The dipole moment of is greater than that of
(2) forms hydrogen bonds.
(3) has higher molecular mass than that of
(4) is more ionic than
Assertion: Compounds of Hg²⁺ ions, having an ionic radius of 116 pm, are more covalent in character than compounds of Ca²⁺ ions, even though Ca²⁺ has nearly the same ionic radius (114 pm) and the same charge.
Reason: For cations having the same size and charge, a cation with an (n−1)d¹⁰ns⁰ electronic configuration has greater polarizing power than a cation with an (n−1)s²(n−1)p⁶ns⁰ electronic configuration.
1. Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
2. Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
3. Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
4. Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | In tetrahedral hybridisation, i.e., in \(sp^3\) hybridisation all p-orbitals are involved, and no p-orbital is left for side-wise overlapping. |
| Reason (R): | The central atom can not form double bonds in the molecules or species having \(sp^3\) hybridisation. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Assertion : F bond angle P = bond angle Q but not precisely
Reason : The molecule is slight bent T-shaped and there is repulsion between lone pairs of electrons.
Assertion : is planar at each nitrogen atom.
Reason : the bond angle is and both the bond lengths are not equal.
Assertion : Carbon has unique ability to form multiple bonds with itself and with other
atoms of small size and high electronegativity.
Reason : Heavier elements of group do not form multiple bonds with itself because
their atomic orbitals are too large and diffuse to have effective overlapping.
Select the correct option based on statements below:
| Assertion (A): | Ether behave as bases in the presence of mineral acids. |
| Reason (R): | It is due to the presence of lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion : and both have same bond order and magnetism
Reason : and are isoelectornic species.
Assertion : Crystals of hydrated calcium sulphate are soft and easily cleaved.
Reason : Crystals of anhydrous calcium sulphate are very hard and very difficult
to cleave.
When two atoms combine to form a molecule, energy is:
| 1. | Released. | 2. | Absorbed. |
| 3. | Neither released nor absorbed. | 4. | Either released or absorbed. |
