Assertion and Reason Questions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 2 Atomic Structure

Assertion and Reason Questions for Atomic Structure

Directions : Each of these questions contain two statements, Assertion and Reason. Each of these questions also has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. You have to select one of the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) given below.
(a) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is a correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
(c) Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect
(d) Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.

Q.1. Assertion : All isotopes of a given element show the same type of chemical behaviour.
Reason : The chemical properties of an atom are controlled by the number of electrons in the atom.

Answer

Answer: (a)

---

Q.2. Assertion : It is impossible to determine the exact position and exact momentum of an electron simultaneously.
Reason : The path of an electron in an atom is clearly defined.

Answer

Answer: (c)

---

Q.3. Assertion : The position of an electron can be determined exactly with the help of an electron microscope.
Reason : The product of uncertainty in the measurement of its momentum and the uncertainty in the measurement of the position cannot be less than a finite limit.

Answer

Answer: (d) The statement-1 is false but the statement-2 is true exact position and exact momentum of an electron can never be determined according to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Even not with the help of electron microscope because when electron beam of electron microscope strikes the target electron of atom, the impact causes the change in velocity and position of electron .

Q.4. Assertion : Black body is an ideal body that emits and absorbs radiations of all frequencies.
Reason : The frequency of radiation emitted by a body goes from a lower frequency to higher frequency with an increase in temperature.

Answer

Answer: (b)

---

Q.5. Assertion : The radius of the first orbit of hydrogen atom is 0.529Å.
Reason : Radius of each circular orbit (rn) – 0.529Å (n²/Z), where n = 1, 2, 3 and Z = atomic number.

Answer

Answer: (a)
