Choose the correct answer from the option given below.
(A) B < A < C < D
(B) A < B < C < D
(C) A < B < D < C
(D) A < C < B < D
Answer (B)
Sol. From Fajan’s rule, for a given metal ion, as the size of anion increases, polarizability of anion increases and hence covalent character of the given ionic compound increases.
Hence, the increasing order of covalent characters is:

5. Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : Finest gold is red in colour, as the size of the particles increases, it appears purple then blue and finally gold.
Reason R : The colour of the colloidal solution depends on the wavelength of light scattered by the dispersed particles.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

9. Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : LiF is sparingly soluble in water.
Reason R : The ionic radius of Li+ ion is smallest among its group members, hence has least hydration enthalpy.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(C) A is true but R is false.
(D) A is false but R is true.
Answer (C)
Sol LiF is sparingly soluble in water.
The low solubility of LiF in water is due to its high lattice enthalpy (Since Li+ and F– are small in size). Also, due to small size of Li+, its hydration enthalpy is high.
Hence, Assertion is true, but Reason is false.

(B) Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(C) A is correct but R is not correct
(D) A is not correct but R is correct
Answer (A)
Sol Boric acid is a weak acid
Boric acid is not able to release H+ ion on its own. It receives OH– ion from water and releases H+ ion as shown in the above reaction.
Hence, Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
