Q. no 1 to 3 are Assertion - Reasoning based questions:- (3x1=3) b)Convex mirror is uses as a rear view mirror in vehicles why?
These consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer these (OR)
questions selecting the appropriate option given below: a)Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a concave mirror
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A when an object is placed between focus and centre of curvature of
(b) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A the mirror
(c) A is true but R is false b)State the nature and size of the image formed by a plane mirror
(d) A is False but R is true 12. a) Explain why carbon forms only covalent bonds.
1. Assertion(A) : The centre of curvature is not a part of the mirror. It lies outside b) Write any three differences between ionic and covalent compounds.
its reflecting surface. (OR)
Reason (R) : The reflecting surface of a spherical mirror forms a part of a a)Name and draw the electron dot structure of a saturated hydrocarbon with
