The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following options is not correctly matched, we need to analyze the definitions and characteristics of photochemical smog and classical smog. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Photochemical Smog**: - Photochemical smog is also referred to as "summer smog." - It is formed primarily due to the high concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). - This type of smog is typically observed in urban areas, especially during warm, dry weather. 2. **Understanding Classical Smog**: - Classical smog is often seen in cold, humid conditions, typically during winter. - It is characterized by the presence of sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter. - Classical smog is known to be reducing in nature because substances like SO2 and CO can reduce other compounds. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Photochemical smog matched with warm dry climate. - This is correct as photochemical smog is indeed associated with warm, dry conditions. - **Option B**: Photochemical smog matched with SO2. - This is incorrect because photochemical smog primarily contains NO2 and VOCs, not SO2, which is associated with classical smog. - **Option C**: Classical smog matched with cold humid climate. - This is correct as classical smog occurs in cold and humid conditions. - **Option D**: Classical smog matched with reducing smoke. - This is correct since classical smog is reducing in nature. 4. **Conclusion**: - The only option that is not correctly matched is **Option B**, which states that photochemical smog contains SO2. ### Final Answer: **Option B** is not correctly matched.
