Q59 of 68 Page 47

In the following question a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.

Assertion (A): Among the two O–H bonds in H2O molecule, the energy required to break the first O–H bond and the other O–H bond is the same.


Reason (R) : This is because the electronic environment around oxygen is the same even after breakage of one O–H bond.


(i) A and R both are correct, and R is correct explanation of A.


(ii) A and R both are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.


(iii) A is true but R is false.


(iv) A and R both are false.


(iv);

Both the assertion and the reason is false. There is average bond enthalpy for the O-H bonds of water.

In the following question a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.

Assertion (A) : Though the central atom of both NH3 and H2O molecules are sp3 hybridised, yet H–N–H bond angle is greater than that of H–O–H.


Reason (R) : This is because nitrogen atom has one lone pair and oxygen atom has two lone pairs.


(i) A and R both are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A.


(ii) A and R both are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.


(iii) A is true but R is false.


(iv) A and R both are false.
