Question 11 Mark
In the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given by the corresponding statement of Reason. Of the statements, mark the correct answer as.
  1. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  2. If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

Assertion: When lead vessel is kept in a solution of ZnSO4, lead will remain unaffected.
Reason: Lead is more electropositive than zinc.
Answer
  1. If Assertion is true, but Reason is false.

Explanation:

It is indeed a deviation from the trend for electronegativity. Elements tend to become more electronegative in the direction toward the halogen group across the periodic table. Zinc is closer to the halogens than copper, but copper is slightly more electronegative than zinc.

Question 21 Mark
In the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given by the corresponding statement of Reason. Of the statements, mark the correct answer as.
  1. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  2. If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  3. If Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
  4. If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
  5. Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Assertion: Hydrogen is not a metal but it has been assigned a place in the reactivity series of metals.
Reason: Hydrogen has a tendency to lose electron and forms a positive ion H+.
Answer
  1. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Explanation:

Though hydrogen is not a metal but even then it has been assigned a place in the activity series. The reason is that like metals, hydrogen also has a tendency to lose electron and forms a positive ion H+. The metals which lose electrons less readily than hydrogen are placed below it and the metals which lose electrons more readily than hydrogen are placed above it in the reactivity series of metals.

Answer
  1. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

Metals at the top of the series are very reactive and therefore, they do not occur free in nature. The metals at the bottom of the series are least reactive and therefore, they normally occur free in nature.
