In the reaction ,  $\stackrel{{\mathrm{NaNH}}_2/\mathrm{liq}. \mathrm{ammonia}}{\to }$ A , the major product A is :

Assertion : CN^- ion is an ambident nucleophile.

Reason: Nucleophiles are electron rich species.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false

• If both assertion and reason are false

Calcium burns in nitrogen to produce a white powder which dissolves in sufficient water to produce a gas A and an alkaline solution .The solution on exposure to air produces a thin solid layer of B on the surface .The compounds A and B will be :

• Ca₃N₂ , NH₃

• NH₃ , CO₂

• Ca(OH)₂ , CaCO₃

• NH₃ , CaCO₃

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction.
