Assertion Reason Types
Questions given below consist of two statements each printed as Assertion (A) and Reason (R); while answering these
questions you are required to choose any one of the following four responses:
(A) if both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
(B) if both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not correct explanation of (A)
(C) if (A) is true but (R) is false
(D) if (A) is false and (R) is true


Q12. Assertion: S
8
molecule has puckered ring structure
Reason: S
8
molecule contains eight lone pair of electrons.
C
Q13. Assertion: Sulphur exhibits paramagnetic behaviour in vapour state.
Reason: In vapour state Sulphur partly exists as S
2
molecule which has two unpaired electrons in antibonding
*

orbitals.
A
Q14. Assertion: Oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur, yet H
2
S is acidic, while H
2
O is neutral.
Reason: HS bond is weaker than OH bond.

A
Q15. Assertion: Reaction of SO
2
and H
2
S

in the presence of Fe
2
O
3
catalyst give elemental Sulphur
Reason: SO
2
acts as a reducing agent.
B
Q16. Assertion: H
2
O
2
is stored in wax-lined glass.
Reason: Presence of traces of alkali metal ions from the glass catalyzes the decomposition of H
2
O

Q19. Assertion : In caros acid the oxidation state of Sulphur is +6
Reason: In caros acid, there is one peroxolinkage. ( O O )
A
Q20. Assertion: Sulphuric acid is less viscous than water due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Reason: Concentrated sulphuric acid has a great affinity for water.
D
Q21. Assertion: Tailing of mercury occurs on passing O
3
through it.
Reason: Due to oxidation of mercury in to mercury suboxide (Hg
2
O) mercury starts sticking to glass wall.
A
Q22. Assertion: Anhydrous BaO
2
is not used for preparing H
2
O
2
.
Reason: H
2
O
2
is prepared on large scale by air oxidation of 2-ethyl anthraquinol.
B
Q23. Assertion: At room temp. oxygen exists as a diatomic gas, where as Sulphur exists as solid
Reason: The catenated O OO are less stable as compared to O=O molecule.
B
Q24. Assertion: Covalency of oxygen is two (O
2-
)
Reason: Negative anion of oxygen (O
2-
) is quite common but dinegative anion of Sulphur (S
2-
) is less common.
