MCQ
Assertion : Sigma $(\sigma )$ is a strong bond, while pi $(\pi )$ is a weak bond.
Reason : Atoms rotate freely about pi $(\pi )$ bond.
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: C.
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
Sigma $(\sigma )$ bond is formed by axial overlap of atomic orbitals while pi $(\pi )$ bond is formed by lateral overlap. Since axial overlapping takes place to a greater extent than the lateral overlapping, former $(\sigma )$ bond is stronger than pi bond. Atoms attached to doubly bonded atom can't rotate freely around the double bond.

The certain volume of a gas exerts on its walls some pressure at a particular temperature. It has been found that by reducing the volume of the gas to half of its original value the pressure becomes twice that of the initial value at a constant temperature. This happens because :

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.

Assertion $(A)$ : $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and $\mathrm{NF}_3$ molecule have pyramidal shape with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom. The resultant dipole moment of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ is greater than that of $\mathrm{NF}_3$.

Reason $(R)$ : In $\mathrm{NH}_3$, the orbital dipole due to lone pair is in the same direction as the resultant dipole moment of the $\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds. $\mathrm{F}$ is the most electronegative element.
