Q19 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (19 Aug Shift 1) · Chemistry
Assertion (A): and form superoxides
Reason (R): The stability of superoxides increases form to due to decrease in lattice energy.
Reason (R): The stability of superoxides increases form to due to decrease in lattice energy.
- ABoth and are true and is a correct explanation for
- BBoth and are true but is not a correct explanation for
- Correct answerCis true, is false
- Dis false, is true
Solution
form superoxides when they are burnt in the air.
As we down the group then the size of atom from to increases so that the lattice energy decreases hence the stability of superoxide also decreases.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
