The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements given in the question, we will evaluate each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1**: "Compound having same general formula may have different empirical formula." - **General Formula**: The general formula represents the ratio of atoms in a compound. For example, the general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2. - **Empirical Formula**: The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound. **Example**: Consider the general formula for alkenes, which is CnH2n. - For C2H4 (Ethene), the empirical formula is CH2. - For C4H8 (Butene), the empirical formula is also CH2. In this case, both compounds have the same general formula (C2H4 and C4H8) but the empirical formula is the same (CH2). Thus, **Statement 1 is false** because compounds with the same general formula will have the same empirical formula. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2**: "Compound having same empirical formula may have different general formula." - **Example**: Consider the empirical formula CH. - Benzene (C6H6) has the empirical formula CH. - Ethyne (C2H2) also has the empirical formula CH. Both compounds have the same empirical formula (CH) but different general formulas. Thus, **Statement 2 is true** because compounds with the same empirical formula can indeed have different general formulas. ### Conclusion - **Statement 1** is false. - **Statement 2** is true. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.** ---
