Assertion : Molecular nitrogen is less reactive than molecular oxygen.
Reason : The bond length of N2 is shorter than that of oxygen.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
If assertion is true, but reason is false.
Both assertion and reason are false statements.
A.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Bond order of N2= 3, bond order of O2= 2. Higher the bond order, higher is the bond dissociation energy. i.e. higher stability or less reactivity. Thus N2 is less reactive than O2. Higher the bond order, shorter is the bond length. Shorter bond length of N2 shows its higher bond order.
Assertion : Potassium ferrocyanide is diamagnetic whereas potassium ferricyanide is paramagnetic.
Reason : Crystal field splitting in ferrocyanide ion is greater than that of ferricyanide ion.
