MCQ
Assertion : Molecular nitrogen is less reactive than molecular oxygen.
Reason : The bond length of $N_2$ is shorter than that of oxygen.
  • ✓
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • 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.

Answer

Correct option: A.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
a
Nitrogen molecule has triple bond, whereas oxygen has double bond. $N-N$ Bond length of $N_2$ is shorter. Hence, it is difficult to break the triple bond of $N_2$. Hence $N_2$ is less reactive. Both $A$ and $R$ are true.
