Assertion : The number of unpaired electrons in the following gaseous ions:
are 4, 3, 2 and 1 respectively
Reason : is stable in aqueous solution.
Assertion : Cuprous ion is colourless whereas cupric ion produces blue colour in solution.
Reason : Cuprous ion has unpaired electrons while cupric ion does not.
Assertion : Ammonical silver nitrate converts glucose to gluconic acid and metallic silver is precipitated.
Reason : Glucose acts as a weak reducing agent.
Assertion: To a solution of potassium chromate if a strong acid is added it changes its colour from yellow to orange.
Reason : The colour change is due to the oxidation of potassium chromate.
