Assertion : When two gaseous OF molecules are allowed to cool, than they undergoes dimerisation through O-atom. Reason : Dimer form of OF molecule (i.e., O_(2)F_(2) ) is having one peroxy linkage in its structure.

Assertion: The loss of biologically useful energy as heat with every energy transfer in a food chain is a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics. Reason: Energy does not remain trapped permanetly in any organism. It is either passed on to higher trophic level or becomes available to detritivores and decomposers after the organism dies.
