Given below are two statements, one is labelled as
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: The alkali metals and their salts
impart characteristic colour to reducing flame.
Reason R: Alkali metals can be detected using
flame tests.
In the light of the above statements, choose the
most appropriate answer from the options given
below
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: The alkali metals and their salts

Reason R: Alkali metals can be detected using
flame tests.
In the light of the above statements, choose the
most appropriate answer from the options given
below
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
A is not correct but R is correct
A is not correct but R is correct because alkali metals impart color to the oxidizing flame, not the reducing flame, and flame tests are indeed used to detect alkali metals.

Reason (R): Lithium and magnesium are harder than their respective group elements The correct option among the following is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
(A) is true, (R) is true but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A)
Option B ((A) is true, (R) is true but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A)) is correct because both LiCl and MgCl₂ are soluble in ethanol due to their covalent character, and both Li and Mg are indeed harder than their respective group elements, but the hardness is not the direct reason for solubility.
