DIRECTION : These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer the question from the following four options.
Statement-1 :Superoxides of alkali metals are paramagnetic.
Statement-2 :Superoxides contain the ion \(O_{2}^{-}\) which has one unpaired electron
-
Solution
Presence of unpaired electrons in superoxides of alkali metals make them paramagnetic.
DIRECTION : These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer the question from the following four options.
Statement-1 :Mg continue to burn in nitric oxide
Statement-2 :During burning, heat evolved do not decompose NO.
-
Solution
When Mg is burnt in nitric oxide, it continue to burn because during burning the heat evolved decompose NO to N2 and O2. Oxygen thus, produced helps Mg to burn.
DIRECTION : These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer the question from the following four options.
Statement-1 :Sulphate is estimated as BaSO4 and not as MgSO4.
Statement-2 :Ionic radius of Mg2+ is smaller than that of Ba2+
-
Solution
Sulphate is estimated as BaSO4 because Ba2+ being larger ion is hydrated to a lesser extent hence it has high lattice energy group.
DIRECTION : These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer the question from the following four options.
Statement-1 :LiCl is predominantly a covalent compound.
Statement-2 :Electronegativity difference between Li and Cl is too small
-
Solution
Statement-1 is true but statement-2 is false.Due to high polarizing power of Li+, LiCl is a covalent compound.
DIRECTION : These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer the question from the following four options.
Statement-1 :Potassium and caesium are used in photoelectric cells.
Statement-2 :Potassium and caesium emit electrons on exposure to light.
-
Solution
K and Cs emit electrons on exposure of light due to low ionisation potential.
DIRECTION : Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :The elements of group 1 describe, more clearly than any other group of elements, the effects of increasing the size of atoms or ions on the physical and chemical properties. The chemical and physical properties of the elements are closely related to their electronic structures and sizes. These metals are highly electropositive and thus form very strong bases, and have quite stable oxo-salts. In the manufacturing of sodium hydroxide, chlorine and sodium carbonate,the sodium chloride is used as starting material.
Which of the product is not correctly matched with its manufacture process?
-
