An unripe mango placed in a concentrated salt solution to prepare pickle, shrivels because __________
Assertion (A): [Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_2 and [Fe(H_2O)_6]Cl_2 are examples of homoleptic complexes. Reason (R): All the ligands attached to the metal are the same.
Assertion (A): The boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order: RI>RBr>RCl>RF. Reason (R): The boiling points of alkyl chlorides, bromides and iodides are considerably higher than that of the hydrocarbon of comparable molecular mass.
Assertion (A): The boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of methoxymethane. Reason (R): There is intramolecular hydrogen bonding in ethanol.
Assertion (A): All naturally occurring \(\alpha\)-amino acids except glycine are optically active. Reason (R): Most naturally occurring amino acids have L-configuration.
