In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the
correct answer out of the following choices.
a) Assertion and reason both are true, reason is correct explanation of assertion.
b) Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
c) Assertion is true, reason is false.
d) Assertion is false, reason is true.
Q.16 Assertion : Linkage isomerism arises in coordination compounds containing ambidentate ligand.
Reason : Ambidentate ligand has two different donor atoms.
Q.17 Assertion: Separation of Zr and Hf is difficult.
Reason: Because Zr and Hf lie in the same group of the periodic table.

Q.18 Assertion : Actinides form relatively less stable complexes as compared to lanthanoids.

Reason : Actinides can utilize their 5f orbitals along with 6d orbitals in bonding but lanthanoids do
not use their 4f orbital for bonding.
Q.19 Assertion: Nitration of chlorobenzene leads to the formation of m-nitrochlorobenzene
Reason: —NO2 group is a m-directing group.
Q.20 Assertion: Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenes
towards nucleophilic substitution.
Reason: Nitro group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the
benzene ring.
