ASSERTION REASON TYPE QUESTIONS


Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The transition elements have incompletely filled d-subshells in their ground state or in any of their
oxidation states. The transition elements occupy position in between s- and p-blocks in groups 3-12
of the Periodic table. Starting from fourth period, transition elements consists of four complete series:
Sc to Zn, Y to Cd and La, Hf to Hg and Ac, Rf to Cn. In general, the electronic configuration of outer
orbitals of these elements is (n - 1) d ns . The electronic configurations of outer orbitals of Zn, Cd, Hg
and Cn are represented by the general formula (n - 1) d n . All the transition elements have typical
metallic properties such as high tensile strength, ductility, malleability. Except mercury, which is liquid
at room temperature, other transition elements have typical metallic structures. The transition metals
and their compounds also exhibit catalytic property and paramagnetic behaviour. Transition metal
also forms alloys. In these questions (i-iv), a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason
is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices. (a) Assertion and reason both are
correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion. (b) Assertion and reason both are
correct statements 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.

11. Assertion: Cu iodide is not known. Reason : Cu2+ oxidises I- to iodine.


12. Cu cannot liberate hydrogen from acids. Reason: Because it has positive electrode potential
13. Assertion : Actinoids form relatively less stable complexes as compared to lanthanoids. Reason
: Actinoids can utilise their 5f orbitals along with 6d orbitals in bonding but lanthanoids do not use
their 4f orbital for bonding.
14. Cr+2 is reducing in nature while with the same d-orbital configuration (d4 ), Mn3+ is an
oxidizing agent
15. The enthalpy of atomization is lowest for Zn in 3d-seriesof the transition elements
16. The E value for the Mn3+ /Mn2+ couples much more positive than that for Cr3+ /Cr2+
couple.
17. Give reason: The transition elements have a great tendency for complex formation.
18. Transition metals generally form coloured compounds
19. Separation of Zr and Hf is difficult- explain
20. What is lanthanide contraction? Write the cause of lanthanide contraction? (2)
21. Between La(OH)3 and Lu(OH)3 which has highest basic character and why?
22. How does the acidified permanganate solution react with (i) iron(II) ions (ii) oxalic acid? Write the
ionic equations for the reactions.(2)
23. Write two similarities between chemistry of lanthanoids and actinoids.
