The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "Magnesium and Cesium give blue color in flame coloration." - In flame tests, different elements produce characteristic colors when heated. However, Magnesium does not produce a flame color; it typically burns with a bright white light when ignited, and it does not impart a blue color to the flame. Cesium, on the other hand, does produce a blue color in flame tests. - Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect** because it implies that both elements give a blue color, which is not true for Magnesium. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "Mg and Cs are of comparable size." - Magnesium (Mg) is an alkaline earth metal located in Group 2 of the periodic table, while Cesium (Cs) is an alkali metal located in Group 1. - As we move down a group in the periodic table, the atomic size increases. Cesium is located lower in the periodic table than Magnesium, which means that Cesium has a larger atomic size compared to Magnesium. - Therefore, the reason is also **incorrect** because Magnesium and Cesium are not of comparable size; in fact, Cesium is significantly larger than Magnesium. 3. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are incorrect. Thus, the correct answer to the question is that both A and R are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are incorrect. ---
