The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided: ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "All Cr-O bond lengths in K₂Cr₂O₇ are equal." - K₂Cr₂O₇ (Potassium dichromate) contains the dichromate ion (Cr₂O₇²⁻). - In the dichromate ion, there are two chromium (Cr) atoms and seven oxygen (O) atoms. - The structure of the dichromate ion is such that it has a resonance structure, which means that the bond lengths can vary due to the different arrangements of electrons. - Upon examining the bond lengths, we find that there are two types of Cr-O bonds: one type is longer (approximately 179 pm) and the other is shorter (approximately 163 pm). - Therefore, the assertion that all Cr-O bond lengths are equal is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Both the Cr are present in dsp² hybrid state." - To determine the hybridization of chromium in K₂Cr₂O₇, we need to consider the oxidation state of Cr, which is +6. - In this state, Cr has the electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d⁵ 4s². - In the presence of oxygen and the formation of the dichromate ion, the hybridization involves the d, s, and p orbitals. - The correct hybridization for Cr in K₂Cr₂O₇ is actually **d²sp³**, as it involves the participation of two d orbitals, one s orbital, and three p orbitals. - Therefore, the statement that Cr is in a dsp² hybrid state is also **false**. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer Assertion: False Reason: False ---
