In these questions a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. Choose the correct
answer out of the following choices.
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion and reason both are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
(d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Q.2(i)Assertion:Generally carbon componds form covalent bonds.
Reason:Carbon prefers sharing of electrons instead of complete transfer of electrons during
bondings.
Q.2(ii) Assertion:Methane is tetrahedral in shape.
Reason: Carbon in methane is sp2 hibridized.
Q.2(iii)Assertion:C in C2H2 is less electronegative than C in C2H6.
Reason:The greater the s character of the hybrid orbitals, the greater is the electronegativity.
Q.2(iv)Assertion: Bond strength of sp hybrid orbital is more than that of sp hybrid orbitals.
Reason:Formation & shape of molecules depends on hybridisation.
OR
Assertion:Free radicals are always planar.
Reason:They can achieve sp as well as sp hybridisation.
