Assertion and Reason Questions


For Term 2 Exam 2022

In the following questions, two statements are given- one labeled Assertion (A) and the other
labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d)
as given below:
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Chapter – 4 Carbon and its compounds
1. ASSERTION: Butane is less reactive than butene.
REASON: Presence of double bond increases the reactivity of molecule.

2. ASSERTION: Unsaturated hydrocarbons burn in air with blue flame.


Reason: Incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons causes a yellow flame.

3. ASSERTION: Detergents are not environment-friendly.


Reason: Detergents are not easily bio-degradable.

4. ASSERTION: Alkanes show addition reaction.


Reason: Addition reaction is a characteristic property of unsaturated hydrocarbons.

5. ASSERTION: Pentane has three isomers.


Reason: For structural isomerism hydrocarbons should have 4 or more carbon atoms.
Chapter 5 - Periodic Classification of Elements
1. Assertion(A): Group of three elements having similar properties were called as the Dobereiner
triads.
Reason(R): The atomic mass of the middle element was roughly the average of the atomic masses of
the other two elements

2. Assertion(A): Lithium shows less metallic nature than Potassium.


Reason(R): The metallic character of the elements increases downwards in a group.

3. Assertion(A): Elements present in group 2 have valency equal to 2.


Reason(R): All the elements in group 2 have same valence electrons.

4. Assertion(A): Properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses.
Reason(R): This periodic law was given by Henery Moseley.

5. Assertion(A): Elements Lithium, Sodium and Potassium are alkali metals.


Reason(R): These elements are found in alkaline soil.
Chapter 8 - How Do Organisms Reproduce?
1. Asseration: Testes in males are located outside the abdominal cavity in scrotum.
Reason: Sperm formation requires a lower temperature than the normal body temperature.

2. Asseration: The lining of uterus thickens and prepares itself every month to receive a fertilised egg.
Reason: The unfertilized egg implants itself to uterus wall for nutrition.

3. Asseration: Conventionally the motile germ cell is male gamete.


Reason: The germ cell that has stored food is female gamete.

4. Asseration: Hibiscus has unisexual flowers.


Reason: Asexual flower contains both male and female parts.
5. Asseration: The human population size is a cause for concern.
Reason: An expanding population makes it easier to improve living conditions.
Chapter 9 - Heredity and Evolution
1. Asseration (A): Mendel chose a pea plant for his experiments.
Reason (R): Pea plant was easy to grow and had distinct, easily detectable contrasting variants of
features.

2. Asseration (A): Geographical isolation cannot be a major factor in speciation of a sexually


reproducing organisms.
Reason (R): Asexually reproducing organisms do not require any other organism for reproduction.

3. Asseration (A): Variation is minimum in asexual reproduction.


Reason (R): All variations in a species have equal chances of survival.

4. Asseration (A): Evolution is the gradual change which takes place in organism over millions of years
and new species are produced.
Reason (R): Heredity is the transmissions of characters or traits from parents to off springs.

5. Asseration (A): Recessive trait can only be expressed in homozygous condition.


Reason (R): Dominant trait cannot be expressed in heterozygous condition.
Chapter – 12 Electricity
1. Assetion (A): The fuse wire damages the various appliances in household connections.
Reason (R): Depending on the device/appliance used, the fuse wire of proper thickness has to be used.

2. Assertion (A): When a current I flows through a resistor R, heat produced.


Reason (R): The Joule's law of heating says H=I2RT.
Chapter – 13 Magnetic effects of current
1. Assertion(A): Every magnet has two poles-North and South.
Reason (R): Like poles repel each other.

2. Assertion (A): Magnetic field lines never intersect each other.


Reason (R): There must not be two north directions at a point.

3. Assertion (A): As the speed of the coil in the motor increases, there is reduction in the current
flowing through it.
Reason (R): During rotation in electric motor, some induced current is produced.
Chapter – 15 Our Environment
1. Asseration (A): Decomposers act as cleaning system of envioronment
Reason (R): The decomposers cycle waste material only in hydrosphere.

2. Asseration (A): Human beings occupy the tap chain is unidirectional


Reason (R): The flow of energy in a food chain is unidirectional.

3. Asseration (A): Some substances in nature are biodegradable while some are non-biodegradable.
Reason (R): The bacteria acting on the substances breakdown only the substances made from natural
materials.

4. Asseration (A): All green plants and certain blue-green algae can produce food by photosynthesis.
Reason (R): Due Presence of cholorophyll.

5. Asseration (A): The disposal of waste we generate in occuring is causing serious environment
problems.
Reason (R): We should reduce the waste generated.
