NEETChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Assertion (A) The empirical mass of ethene is half of its molecular mass. Reason (R) The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present in a compound.
Options
- ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- B(A ) is true but (R ) is false.
- C(A ) is false but (R ) is true.
- DBoth A and R are false.
Correct answer
A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Step-by-step solution
Both assertion and reason are True And the Reason is the correct Explanation of Assertion The Molecular formula of Ethene is ( C ₂ H ₄ ) and its empirical Formula is CH 2 Thus, Molecular formula (= ) empirical formula ( 2 ).
