NEET 2023 Phase 2 · ChemistryOxide naturePrevious Year Question

Assertion (A): Lithium and beryllium, unlike their other respective group members, form compounds with pronounced ionic character. Reason (R): Lithium and magnesium have similar properties due to the diagonal relationship.

Answer: (D) (A) is false but (R) is true.. \textbf{Answer:} (D) (A) is false but (R) is true.

  1. A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  2. B.Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. C.(A) is true but (R) is false.
  4. D.(A) is false but (R) is true.

Correct Answer

(D) (A) is false but (R) is true.

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (D) (A) is false but (R) is true. \textbf{Solution:} Lithium and beryllium, owing to their small size and high polarising power, form compounds with pronounced COVALENT (not ionic) character. Hence the Assertion is false. The Reason is true: and do show similar properties because of the diagonal relationship. Since (A) is false and (R) is true, the correct option is D.
