(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Q.1. Assertion : Graphite is an example of tetragonal crystal system.
Reason : For a tetragonal system, a = b ≠c, α = β = 90°, γ = 120°.
Answer
dQ.2. Assertion : No compound has both Schottky and Frenkel defects.
Reason : Both defects change the density of the solid.
Answer
dQ.3. Assertion : Stability of a crystal is reflected in the magnitude of its melting.
Reason : The stability of a crystal depends upon the strength of the interparticle attractive force.
Answer
aQ.4. Assertion : Due to Frenkel defect, there is no effect on the density of the crystalline solid.
Reason : In Frenkel defect, no cation or anion leaves the crystal.
Answer
aQ.5. Assertion : On heating ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic substances, they become paramagnetic.
Reason : The electrons change their spin on heating.
Answer
aQ.6. Assertion : In close packing of spheres, a tetrahedral void is surrounded by four spheres whereas an octahedral void is surrounded by six spheres.
Reason : A tetrahedral void has a tetrahedral shape whereas an octahedral void has an octahedral shape.
