The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement about photochemical smog is not correct, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Photochemical Smog**: - Photochemical smog is formed when sunlight reacts with atmospheric pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This reaction typically occurs in warm, sunny conditions. 2. **Review the Statements**: - We need to evaluate each statement provided in the options to identify the incorrect one. 3. **Evaluate Option 1**: - **Statement**: "It occurs in warm and dry and sunny climate." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Photochemical smog is indeed prevalent in warm, dry, and sunny conditions. 4. **Evaluate Option 2**: - **Statement**: "Chemically it is a reducing mixture and is called reducing smog." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Photochemical smog is characterized by high concentrations of oxidizing agents, not reducing agents. Therefore, it is not referred to as reducing smog. 5. **Evaluate Option 3**: - **Statement**: "It is formed as a result of action of sunlight on unsaturated hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Photochemical smog is indeed formed through the action of sunlight on nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. 6. **Evaluate Option 4**: - **Statement**: "It has high concentration of oxidizing agent and is also called oxidizing smog." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Photochemical smog is associated with high levels of oxidizing agents, hence it can be referred to as oxidizing smog. 7. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement about photochemical smog is **Option 2**: "Chemically it is a reducing mixture and is called reducing smog." ### Final Answer: The statement that is not correct about photochemical smog is **Option 2**. ---

To determine which statement about photochemical smog is not correct, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Photochemical Smog**: - Photochemical smog is formed when sunlight reacts with atmospheric pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
