Assertion: The ratio is more for helium gas than for hydrogen gas.
Reason: Atomic mass of helium is more than that of hydrogen.
Reason: Atomic mass of helium is more than that of hydrogen.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option B is correct. The ratio is indeed higher for helium than for hydrogen because helium is monoatomic () and hydrogen is diatomic (). However, the reason given (atomic mass) is not the correct explanation; the correct reason is the difference in degrees of freedom.
