Read the assertion and reason statements carefully and mark the correct option out of the
following : (Q.11 to Q.15)
a) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the
assertion.
b) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of
the assertion.
c) If assertion is true but reason is false.
d) If assertion is false but reason is true.

11. Assertion (A): A wire of about 2 km length can be drawn from one gram of gold.
Reason (R): Gold is the most ductile metal.
12.Assertion (A): The non-metals are either solids or gases except bromine which is a liquid.
Reason (R): Some of the examples of non-metals are carbon, sulphur, iodine, oxygen,
hydrogen, etc.
13. Assertion (A): Silver and gold react with oxygen at high temperatures.
Reason (R): Different metals show different reactivities towards oxygen.

14. Assertion (A): Aqua regia is a highly corrosive, fuming liquid.

Reason (R): It is a freshly prepared mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and
concentrated nitric acid in the ratio of 1:3.

15. Assertion (A): The compounds formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-
metal are known as covalent compounds.
Reason (R): Electrovalent compounds are generally soluble in water.

16. Assertion (A): Carbon is a non-metal that can exist in different forms.
Reason (R): Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, is the hardest natural substance known.

17. Assertion (A): Metal oxides are acidic in nature.

Reason (R): Some metal Oxides show both acidic as well as basic behaviour.

18. Assertion (A): Aluminium develops a thin oxide layer when exposed to air.
Reason (R): Anodising is a process of forming a thick oxide layer of aluminium.

19. Assertion (A): Metals react with water and produce a metal oxide and carbon di oxide gas.
Reason (R): Metal oxides that are soluble in water dissolve in it to further form metal
hydroxide.

20. Assertion (A): Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid.
Reason (R): HNO3 is a strong oxidising agent.
