Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.
Assertion (A): Cu2+ iodide is not known.
Reason (R): Cu2+ oxidises I– to iodine.
Verify mobile number to view the solution
Cu2+ oxidises iodide to iodine hence cupric iodide is converted to cuprous iodide.
Assertion (A): Transition metals have low melting points.
Reason (R): The involvement of greater number of (n – 1)d and ns electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding.
Transition metals have high melting points because of the involvement of greater number of (n – 1)d and ns electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding.
Assertion: Separation of Zr and Hf is difficult.
Reason: Because Zr and Hf lie in the same group of the periodic table.
Separation of Zr and Hf is difficult as both have same size.
Assertion (A): Chemistry of Actinoids is more complicated than Lanthanoids.
Reason (R): Actinoid elements are radioactive in nature.
Chemistry of actinoids is more complicated than Lanthanoids because actinoids are radioactive elements having relatively short half-lives.
Assertion (A): The highest oxidation state of osmium is +8.
Reason (R): Osmium is a 5d-block element.
The highest oxidation state of osmium (Os) is +8. It is due to its ability to expand octet by using its all 8 electrons.
Assertion (A): Cu cannot liberate hydrogen from acids.
Reason (R): Because it has positive electrode potential.
Copper (Cu) does not liberate hydrogen from acids due to the presence of positive electrode potential.
Assertion (A): Transition metals have high melting point.
Reason (R): Transition metals have completely filled d-orbitals.
Assertion (A): Chromium is an actinoid.
Reason (R): In Chromium, 3d orbitals are filled.
Chromium is a transition element and it belongs to 3d series because in chromium, 3d orbitals are filled.
Assertion (A): Cerium (Ce) exhibits +4 oxidation state.
Reason (R): Ce4+ has 4f4 electronic configuration which is less stable.
Cerium exhibits +4 oxidation state because Ce4+ has 4f0 electronic configuration which is most stable.
