The main reason as the why C Cl_(4) is not hydrolysed is :

Compared to C_(3) plants, C_(4) plants

Assertion : C_(4) photosynthesis is more sensitive to low termperature as compared to C_(3) photosynthesis . Reason : the rubisco found in C_(4) plants is more sensitive to low temperature as compared to C_(3) plants.

Assertion: Photosynthetically C_(4) plants are less efficient than C_(3) plants. Reason: The operation of C_(4) pathway requires the involvement of only bundle-sheath cells.

Oxidation number of Cl in NOClO_(4) is

Give reason : C Cl_(4) is insoluble in H_(2)O while NaCl is soluble

TiCl_(4) fumes strongly in moist air and is hydrolysed by water to give :
