ASSERTION-REASON TYPE QUESTIONS

Directions : Each of these questions contain two statements, Assertion and Reason. Each of these
questions also has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. You have to
select one of the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) given below.
(a) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is a correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
(c) Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect
(d) Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.

Q1. Assertion : The position of an electron can be determined exactly with the help of an
electron microscope.
Reason : The product of uncertainty in the measurement of its momentum and the
uncertainty in the measurement of the position cannot be less than a finite
limit.
Q2. Assertion : The radius of the first orbit of hydrogen atom is .
Reason : Radius of each circular orbit ( ) ( ), where and
atomic number.
Q3. Assertion : All isotopes of a given element show the same type of chemical behaviour.
Reason : The chemical properties of an atom are controlled by the number of
electrons in the atom.

Q4. Assertion : Black body is an ideal body that emits and absorbs radiations of all
frequencies.
Reason : The frequency of radiation emitted by a body goes from a lower frequency to
higher frequency with an increase in temperature.
Q5. Assertion : It is impossible to determine the exact position and exact momentum of an
electron simultaneously.
Reason : The path of an electron in an atom is clearly defined.
