MCQ 31 Mark
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 $(A)$ : Among the two $O–H$ bonds in $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}$ molecule, the energy required to break the first $O – H$ bond and other $O – H $ bond is the same.
Reason $(R)$ : This is because the electronic environment around oxygen is the same even after breakage of one $O – H$ bond.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A.$
  • B
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • C
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are false.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Both $A$ and $R$ are false.
The bond enthalphy in $H-O$ is not same for both the $O-H$ bonds. because electronic charge atom is different one $O-H$ bond.

MCQ 41 Mark
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 $(A)$ : Sodium chloride formed by the action of chlorine gas on sodium metal is a stable compound.
Reason $(R)$ : This is because sodium and chloride ions acquire octet in sodium chloride formation.
  • $A$ and $R$ both are correct, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
  • B
    $A$ and $R$ both are correct, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ and $R$ both are false.
Answer
Correct option: A.
$A$ and $R$ both are correct, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
Sodium chloride $\left(\mathrm{Na}^{+} \mathrm{Cl}^{-}\right)$ is stable ionic compound because both $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions have complete octate in outermost shell.

MCQ 51 Mark
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.
  • $A$ and $R$ both are correct, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
  • B
    $A$ and $R$ both are correct, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ and $R$ both are false.
Answer
Correct option: A.
$A$ and $R$ both are correct, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ has two lone pairs while $\mathrm{NH}_3$ has single lone pair, hence, $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ involves greater lone pair-bond pair repulsion.
