ASSERTION AND REASONING QUESTIONS
Q.1. Assertion: For noble gases, valency is
zero.
Reason: Noble gases have 8 valence electrons.
Answer: Both assertion and reason are true
and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
Q.2. Assertion: Thomson’s atomic model is
known as ‘raisin pudding’ model.
Reason: The atom is visualized as a pudding of
positive charge with electrons (raisins)
embedded in it.
Answer: Both assertion and reason are true
and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
Q.3. Assertion: The mass of the total number of
protons and neutrons is a measure of the
approximate mass of an atom.
Reason: The mass of an electron is negligible.
Answer: Both assertion and reason are
true and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
Q.4. Assertion: Electrons moving in the same
orbit will lose or gain energy.
Reason: On jumping from higher to lower
energy level, the electron will gain energy
Answer: Assertion is false but reason is true
Q.5. Assertion: Isotopes are electrically neutral.
Reason: Isotopes are species with same mass
number but different atomic numbers
Answer: Assertion is true but reason is false.
Q.6. Assertion: Atom is electrically neutral.
Reason: A neutral particle, neutron is present in
the nucleus of atom.
Answer: Both assertion and reason are true
but reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion.
Q.7. Assertion: The size of the nucleus is very
small as compared to the size of the
atom.
Reason: The electrons revolve around the
nucleus of the atom
Answer: Both assertion and reason are true
but reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion.
Q.8. Assertion: Isotopes are electrically neutral.
Reason: Isotopes of an element have equal
number of protons and electrons.
Answer: Both assertion and reason are true
and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
Q.9. Assertion: Isobars are identical in
chemical properties.
Reason: Isobars have same atomic number.
Answer: Assertion is false but reason is true
Q.10. Assertion: Anions are larger in size than
the parent atom.
Reason: In an anion, the number of protons in
the nucleus is less than the number of electrons
moving around it
Answer: Both assertion and reason are true
and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
