The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. **Assertion:** Ortho and para dihydrogen are nuclear spin isomers. **Reason:** They have the same nuclear spins. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ortho and Para Dihydrogen:** - Dihydrogen (H₂) can exist in two forms based on the spins of its two protons: ortho and para. - In ortho hydrogen, both protons have their spins aligned parallel to each other. This configuration has a total nuclear spin of 1. - In para hydrogen, the spins of the two protons are aligned anti-parallel (opposite to each other), resulting in a total nuclear spin of 0. 2. **Identifying Nuclear Spin Isomers:** - Nuclear spin isomers are defined as different arrangements of nuclear spins in a molecule that result in different energy states. - Since ortho and para hydrogen have different arrangements of proton spins, they are indeed nuclear spin isomers. 3. **Evaluating the Reason:** - The reason states that ortho and para dihydrogen have the same nuclear spins. This is incorrect because ortho hydrogen has a total nuclear spin of 1, while para hydrogen has a total nuclear spin of 0. Thus, they do not have the same nuclear spins. 4. **Conclusion:** - The assertion is true: ortho and para dihydrogen are nuclear spin isomers. - The reason is false: they do not have the same nuclear spins. - Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is option C: Assertion is true but reason is false. ---
