Assertion : Cuprous ion ` (Cu^(+))` is colouless whereas cupric ion `(Cu^(++))` is blue in the aqueous solution.
Reason : Cuprous ion `(Cu^(+))` has unpaired electrons while cupric ion `(Cu^(++))` does not .

A

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1

C

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.

D

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
