MCQ
Assertion (A): A certain element X, forms three binary compounds with chlorine-containing 59.68 %, 68.95 % and 74.75 % chlorine respectively. These data illustrate the law of multiple proportions.
Reason (R): According to law of multiple proportions, the relative amounts of an element combining with some fixed amount of a second element in a series of compounds are the ratios of small whole numbers.

Note : In the following question a statement of Assertion $(A)$ followed by a statement of Reason $(R)$ is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below:
Assertion $(A)$ : If $\text{BOD}$ level of water in a reservoir is less than $5$ ppm it is highly polluted.
Reason $(R)$ : High biological oxygen demand means low activity of bacteria in water.
Assertion (A): The term tautomerism was introduced by Maxwell in order to explain the chemical reactivity of a substance according to two possible structures.
Reason (R): Metamers can also be chain isomers or position isomers.
Assertion (A): Components of a mixture of red and blue inks can be separated by distributing the components between stationary and mobile phases in paper chromatography.
Reason (R): The coloured components of inks migrate at different rates because paper selectively retains different components according to the difference in their partition between the two phases.
Notes : In the following questions a statement of Assertion $(A)$ followed by a statement of Reason $(R)$ is given. Choose the correct option out of the Choices given below each question.
Assertion $(A)$ : Combustion of all organic compounds is an exothermic reaction.
Reason $(R)$ : The enthalpies of all elements in their standard state are zero.
Assertion (A): The nuclear isomers are the atoms with the same atomic number and same mass number, but with different radioactive properties.
Reason (R): The nucleus in the excited state will evidently have a different half-life as compared to that in the ground state.
Assertion: A spectral line will be seen for a $2 p_x \rightarrow 2 p_y$ transition.
Reason: Energy is released in the form of waves of light when the electron drops from $2 p_{ v }$ to 2 p orbital.
Note : In the following questions a statement of Assertion $(A)$ followed by a statement of Reason $(R)$ is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.
Assertion $(A)$ : Though the central atom of both $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ molecules are $\mathrm{sp}^3$ hybridised, yet $\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}$ bond angle is greater than that of $\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}$.
Reason $(R)$ : This is because nitrogen atom has one lone pair and oxygen atom has two lone pairs.

Reason (R): The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is called its average atomic mass.
Direction : In the following Questions, the Assertion and Reason have been put forward. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion : Increasing order of acidity of hydrogen halides is $\ce{HF < HCl < HBr < HI}$
Reason : While comparing acids formed by the elements belonging to the same group of periodic table, $H-A$ bond strength is a more important factor in determining acidity of an acid than the polar nature of the bond.
Directions : In the following questions, the Assertions $(A)$ and Reason $(s) (R)$ have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion : In $p -$ block elements a lot of variation in properties of elements in a group is observed.
Reason : Difference in inner core of electronic configuration greatly influences the physical and chemical properties of elements. In $p - $ block elements a lot of variation in properties of elements in a group is observed.
