Question
Assertion (A): Silver articles become black after sometime when exposed to sunlight
Reason (R): It is because silver reacts with carbonates present in the air.

Answer

(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: Silver reacts with sulphur present in the air and forms a layer of silver sulphide, therefore, silver articles get
tarnished. Thus assertion is true, but reason is false.
