The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements and determine their validity, as well as the relationship between them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Statement-I**: - Statement-I states that in the extraction of silver (Ag), the complex `Na[Ag(CN)₂]` is reacted with zinc (Zn). - This is true because the complex `Na[Ag(CN)₂]` is a soluble complex of silver in cyanide, and it can be reduced to metallic silver (Ag) by using zinc as a reducing agent. 2. **Chemical Reaction**: - The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ 2 \text{Na[Ag(CN)}_2] + \text{Zn} \rightarrow 2 \text{Ag} + \text{Na}_2\text{Zn(CN)}_4 \] - Here, zinc reduces the silver ion in the complex to form solid silver and a new complex with zinc. 3. **Analyzing Statement-II**: - Statement-II claims that zinc (Zn) is a transition metal according to electronic theory. - This statement is false. According to the definition of transition metals, they are elements that have partially filled d-orbitals. Zinc has the electronic configuration of \([Ar] 3d^{10} 4s^2\), which means its d-orbitals are fully filled (10 electrons in the 3d subshell), and thus it does not qualify as a transition metal. 4. **Conclusion**: - Statement-I is true, while Statement-II is false. Therefore, the correct option is that Statement-I is true and Statement-II is false. ### Final Answer: - **Statement-I**: True - **Statement-II**: False The correct option is that Statement-I is true and Statement-II is false.
