a) If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion
b) If both assertion and reason are correct , but reason is not the correct explanation for
assertion
c) If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect
d) If assertion is incorrect but reason is correct
1) Assertion- BF3 molecule is planar while NF3 is pyramidal
Reason – N atom is smaller than B atom .
2) Assertion : The bond order of helium is always zero.
Reason : The number of electrons in bonding molecular orbital and antibonding molecular
orbital is equal.
3) Assertion : BF3 molecule has zero dipole moment.
Reason : F is electronegative and B–F bonds are polar in nature.
4) Assertion – C2H2 molecule is linear.
Reason – In C2H2 molecule carbon atoms remain unhybridized .
5) Assertion – The dipole moment helps to predict whether a molecule is polar or non- polar.
Reason – The dipole moment helps to predict the geometry of molecules.
