Assertion : Graphite is a good conductor...

Assertion : Graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity,
Reason : Graphite has all the electrons firmly held in C-C, `sigma`-bonds.

A

If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If( A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If both (A) and (R) are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Each carbon in graphite has one free electron which makes graphite a good conductor of electricity.

In the following question, an Assertion (A) is followed by a corresponding Reason (R). Use the following keys to choose the appropriate answer. Assertion : Fluorine molecule has bond order one. Reason : The number of electrons in the antibonding molecular orbitals is two less than that in bonding molecular orbitals.

Which of the following isnot correct regarding C_2 molecule? : C_2 molecule has been found to exist in vapour phase, It has a total 12 electrons, out of which 8 electrons occupy bonding orbitals while 4 electrons occupy antibonding orbitals., The molecule is paramagnetic., C_2 molecule contains double bond and both are pi bonds

Assertion : All compounds having C=C bond exhibit geometrical isomerism . Reason : Rotation about C=C bond is restricted

Assertion : Cyanides R - C -= N : are very much weaker bases than aliphatic bases. Reason : This is due to the fact that as the nitrogen atom becomes more multiply bonded, the lone pair of electrons are accommodated in an orbital that has more 'S' character. The electron pair is thus drawn closer to the nitrogen nucleus, and held more lightly by it.
