These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Each of these question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer these questions from the following four options.
Statement-1 :Magnetic moment values of actinides are lesser than the theoretically predicted values.
Statement-2 :Actinide elements are strongly paramagnetic.
-
Solution
The magnetic moments are lesser than the fact that 5f electrons of actinides are less effectively shielded which results in quenching of orbital contribution.
These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Each of these question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer these questions from the following four options.
Statement-1 :Transition metals are good catalysts.
Statement-2 : V2O5 or Pt is used in the preparation of H2SO4 by contact process.
-
Solution
Due to larger surface area and variable valencies to form intermediate absorbed complex easily, transition metals are used as catalysts.
These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Each of these question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer these questions from the following four options.
Statement-1 :Transition metals show variable valency.
Statement-2 :Transition metals have a large energy difference between the ns2 and (n – 1)delectrons.
-
Solution
The statement-1 is correct but the statement-2 is false.Actually transition metal show variable valency due to very small difference between the ns2 and (n – 1)delectrons.
These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Each of these question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer these questions from the following four options.
Statement-1 :Cuprous ion (Cu+) has unpaired electrons while cupric ion(Cu++) does not.
Statement-2 :Cuprous ion (Cu+) is colourless whereas cupricion (Cu++) is blue in the aqueous solution
