ASSERTTON AND REASON rypE QUESTTONS (1 MARK)

!n the following questions, a staternent of Assertion (A) followed tly a statement of
Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct optiotr out of the choices given below.

(a) Both A and R are true anc.l R is llre correct explanation of A.

(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false and R is true.

l3.Assertion(A): One atomic rnass unit is defined as one hrvelfth of 'the mass cf one carbon *
12 atoms.
Reason(R): Carbon-12 isotope is the most abundant isotope ofcarbon and has been chosen
as standard.

l4.Assertion (A): Generally, ionization enthalpy increases from left lo right in a period.
Reason (R): When successrve electrons are added to the orbitals in the same principal
quantum level, the shieldingi effect of inner core of electrons does not increase very much tr:
compensate for the increased attraction of the electron to the nucleus.

l5.Assertion (A): Among the two O - l-l bonds in FIzO molecule, the energy required to break
the first O - H bond and the other C) - H bond is the same.
Reason (R): The electronic errvironment around oxygen does not remain the same after the
first O-H bond is broken, as the renroval of a hvdrogen atom allers the electron density
around the oxygen atom.

agent.

SECTION D

The following questions are case- based rluestions. Each questions carries 4 (1+1+2)
marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

2g.When anions and cations approach each other, the valence shell of anions are pulled towards
cation nucleus and thus, shape of anion is cleformecl. The phenomenon of deformalion of anion
by a cation is known as polarization and the ability of the cation to polarize the anion is called
as polarizing power of cation. Due to polarization, sharing of electrons occurs between lwo
ions to some extent and the bond slrows some covalent character. The magnitude of
polarization $epends upon a number of factor'.i. 1-hese factors were suggested by Fajan and
are known as Fajan's rules. Greater is tltr: polittizatiott in a molecule, more is the covalent
character. As the charge on cation incr<;ases, iti; lenrlr:ttcy to polarize the anion increases.e,rs
the size of the cation decreases or size of lhe anion incleases, the polarization increases. Tlle
cations with iB electrons in the oule:,rost sltcll lrtittl; greater polarization of the anion tha!l
those with irrert gas configuratlon even L.rollr the-. catlions have same size and same charge

30. Read the following passagc irrl(l €rir:rwer the questions given below:
Orbitals are regions or spac()s, wlrr';re llrere is a maximum probability of finding electrons,
Qualitatively, these orbitals r;an be riistingyrrishecl by their size, shape, and orientation. An orbital
of small size means there is nrore cliancr: of fincling the electron near tlre nucleus. Slrape and
orientation mean the directiorr in wlrit.;h tlre probability of finding the electron is ntaxirnurn.
Atomic orbitals can be distinguisheci by quantunr numbers. Each orbital is designated by three
quantum numbers n, l, and mr (magnetic quantum number) which define energy. shape, and
orientation but these are not sufficierlt to explain spectra of multi-electron atoms. Spin quantum
number (ms) determines the spin of eleq;trons. Spin angular momenium of the electron has two
orientations relative to tlre cirosen axis which are distinguished by spin quantum numbers ms
which can take values +1i2 and -112.
