The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reactivity of atomic hydrogen compared to nascent hydrogen, we will break down the assertion and reason provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Types of Hydrogen:** - There are three forms of hydrogen: atomic hydrogen, nascent hydrogen, and molecular hydrogen. - Atomic hydrogen consists of individual hydrogen atoms (H). - Nascent hydrogen refers to hydrogen that is in its newly formed state and is represented as [H]. - Molecular hydrogen is the stable form of hydrogen, represented as H₂. 2. **Stability of Hydrogen Forms:** - The stability of these forms of hydrogen can be ranked as follows: - Molecular hydrogen (H₂) is the most stable. - Nascent hydrogen ([H]) is less stable than molecular hydrogen. - Atomic hydrogen (H) is the least stable and most reactive. - Therefore, the order of stability is: H₂ > [H] > H. 3. **Energy Content and Reactivity:** - Energy is inversely proportional to stability. This means that the less stable a form of hydrogen is, the higher its energy content. - Consequently, the order of energy content is: Atomic hydrogen (H) > Nascent hydrogen ([H]) > Molecular hydrogen (H₂). - Since higher energy corresponds to higher reactivity, we can conclude that atomic hydrogen is more reactive than nascent hydrogen. 4. **Evaluating the Assertion and Reason:** - The assertion states that "Atomic hydrogen is more reactive than nascent hydrogen." This is true based on our analysis. - The reason states that "The energy content of atomic hydrogen is more than nascent hydrogen." This is also true, as we established that atomic hydrogen has a higher energy content than nascent hydrogen. 5. **Conclusion:** - Both the assertion and the reason are true. - Additionally, the reason correctly explains the assertion, as the higher energy content of atomic hydrogen accounts for its greater reactivity. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation for the assertion.
