Q6 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (29 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry
Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Nickel is being used as the catalyst for producing syn gas and edible fats.
Statement II : Silicon forms both electron rich and electron deficient hydrides.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I : Nickel is being used as the catalyst for producing syn gas and edible fats.
Statement II : Silicon forms both electron rich and electron deficient hydrides.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- ABoth the statements I and II are correct
- BStatement I is incorrect but statement II is correct
- CBoth the statements I and II are incorrect
- Correct answerDStatement I is correct but statement II is incorrect
Solution
Statement-I is correct.
(Nickel) is used in Hydrogenation of unsaturated fat to make edible fats to convert unsaturated compounds to saturated compounds.
Statements-II is false as hydride of Silicon is electron precise & neither electron deficient nor electron rich.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
