A: Be(OH)2{{Be}({OH})}_2 dissolves in excess of NaOH{NaOH}

R: Be(OH)2{{Be}({OH})}_2 is an amphoteric compound.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A
Option B is correct because both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason doesn't fully explain why Be(OH)2{{Be}({OH})}_2 dissolves in excess NaOH; the formation of a complex ion is the primary reason.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Option A (Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A) is correct because the initial formation of insoluble calcium carbonate causes milkiness, which disappears upon formation of soluble calcium bicarbonate with excess CO₂.

Assertion (A) : Divalent compounds of alkaline earth metals are diamagnetic.

Reason (R) : M2+M^{2+} ions of group 2 have noble gas configuration.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true but R\mathbf{R} is not the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}.
Option B (Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true but R\mathbf{R} is not the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}) is correct because while both statements are true, the noble gas configuration does not directly explain why divalent compounds are diamagnetic; diamagnetism arises from the absence of unpaired electrons.

Which order is NOT correct
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Melting point : LiCl>NaCl>KCl>RbCl>CsClLiCl > NaCl > KCl > RbCl > CsCl

If X(OH>Y(OH)X({OH}>{Y}({OH}) (acidic strength) ' XX ' &\& ' YY ' both belong to same group then select the correct statement.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
O−H{O}-{H} bond will be easily broken is case of hydroxide of ' X{X} '
Option C is correct because if X(OH) is more acidic than Y(OH), and both belong to the same group, it implies that the O-H bond in X(OH) is more easily broken due to higher electronegativity of X.
