(b) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct- explanation of Assertion.

(c) If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

(d) If Reason is true but Assertion is false.

(e). If both Assertion and Reason ​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Explanation:

(N/A) Refer to question.

Answer 2

Answer:

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.i.e.option(a).

Explanation:

• More compounds than any other element have their fundamental structural support provided by the atom carbon.
• One extraordinary ability of the carbon atom is to create bonds with itself, leading to the formation of a single, massive structure or chain. Large molecules can be formed by either straight or branched carbon chains. This characteristic is known as catenation.
• A versatile element, carbon can be found in a wide range of chemical compounds, including those in outer space. Because it can create single, double, and triple bonds, carbon is a versatile substance. In addition, when joined with other carbon atoms, it can form rings, branched rings, and chains.

Hence, among the given options the correct answer is (a).
