Assertion reason type question
For questions below two statements are given one labelled assertion and
the other labelled reason. Select the correct answer to these questions
from the codes a b c and d are given below.
(a) Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct
explanation for assertion.
 (b) Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct
explanation for assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but reason is wrong
(d) Assertion is wrong but reason is correct
31. Assertion – caesium chloride has a body-centered cubic arrangement.
reason- caesium chloride has one caesium iron and its chloride ion in its
unit cell.
32. Assertion- Frankel defect are shown by silver halides
Reason - silver ions have a small size.
33. Assertion- tetrahedral void is much larger than the octahedral void.
Reason – tetrahedral void is surrounded by four spheres where is
octahedral void is surrounded by 6 spheres.
34. Assertion – in calculation of density using the formula
Z×M
d = --------------,
N 0× a 3
For BCC structure of an element or ionic compound z is always equal to 2.
Reason – each atom or ion at the corner contribute 1/8 towards the unit
cell and each atom or ion at the body centre contributes 1 towords the unit
cell.
35. Assertion - silicon doped with boron forms p type semiconductor.
Reason – in p-type semiconductors the holes move towards the negatively
charged plate.
36. Assertion – antiferromagnetic substances have zero net magnetic moment.
Reason – anti Ferro magnetic substances contain domains which are
randomly oriented.
