II. Assertion Reason type of questions:
Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative
from the following:
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and reason is the correct
explanation of Assertion.
 b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the
correct explanation of Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
8. Assertion: Significant figures for 0.200 is 3 where as for 200 it is 1.
Reason : Zero at the end or right of a number are significant
provided they are not on the right side of the decimal point.
9. Assertion : Electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as we go
down a group.
Reason : Size of the atom decreases on going down the group and
the added electron would be farther from the nucleus.
10. Assertion : Sodium chloride formed by the action of chlorine gas
on sodium metal is a stable compound.
Reason: This is because sodium and chloride ions acquire octet in
sodium chloride formation.
