Assertion (A): | Melting point of gallium is lesser than aluminum. |
Reason (R): | Due to the inert pair effect, increased effective nuclear charge holds ns-electrons tightly. |
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. |
Statement I: | Gallium (Ga) has a low melting point, so it is used in thermometers. |
Statement II: | A substance having a melting point of 253 K can be measured by a Gallium thermometer. |
1. | Statement I is false but Statement II is true. |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are false. |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are true. |
4. | Statement I is true but Statement II is false. |
