Similar questions

Assertion (A): The IUPAC name for $CH _3 CH = CH - C \equiv CH$ is pent-3-en-1-yne and not pent-2-en-4-yne.
Reason (R): While deciding the locants for double and triple bonds, lowest sum rule is always followed.
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 : $\text{LiCl}$ is covalent compound.
Reason : The eleetronegativity difference between $\text{Li }$ and $\text{Cl}$ is too small.
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 $(A)$ : Pent $- 1-$ ene and pent $- 2 -$ ene are position isomers.
Reason $(R)$ : Position isomers differ in the position of functional group or a substituent.
Assertion (A): Electron deficient species that can accept lone pair of electrons known as an electrophile.
Reason (R): $\stackrel{\oplus}{N} H_4$ is an electrophile.
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 $(A)$ : Silicons are water repelling in nature.
Reason $(R)$ : Silicons are organosilicon polymers, which have $\left(\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{SiO}{-}\right)$ as repeating unit.
Assertion (A): In the dissociation of $PCl _5$ at constantp ressure and temperature, addition of helium at equilibrium increases the dissociation of $PCl _5$.
Reason (R): Helium reacts with $Cl _2$ and hence shifts the equilibrium in forward direction.
Assertion $(A)$ : Electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as we go down a group.
Reason $(R)$ : Size of the atom increases on going down the group and the added electron would be farther from the nucleus.
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 : The density of Heavy water is higher of $11.2^\circ C.$
Reason : The density of water is higher is at $4^\circ C.$
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.
Assertion $(A)$ : Gases do not liquefy above their critical temperature, even on applying high pressure.
Reason $(R)$ : Above critical temperature, the molecular speed is high and intermolecular attractions cannot hold the molecules together because they escape because of high speed.
