[Link] (A): A stainless steel spoon placed in a hot cup of soup becomes hot after a
while.
Reason (R): Heat travels from the hot end to the cold end by convection.
[Link](A)-Magnesium hydroxide is basic in nature.
REASON(R)- Magnesium hydroxide turns blue litmus paper to red.
[Link] (A): Rhizobium bacteria are essential for improving nitrogen availability in the
soil.
Reason (R): Rhizobium lives in the roots of leguminous plants and converts atmospheric
nitrogen into a form usable by plants.
