Assertion A is correct because the stability of the +1 oxidation state increases down the group due to the inert pair effect.
Reason R correctly explains the inert pair effect as the reluctance of the s-electrons to participate in bonding.
Thus, both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Final Answer:
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
For the thermal decomposition of \( N_2O_5(g) \) at constant volume, the following table can be formed, for the reaction mentioned below: \[ 2 N_2O_5(g) \rightarrow 2 N_2O_4(g) + O_2(g) \] Given: Rate constant for the reaction is \( 4.606 \times 10^{-2} \text{ s}^{-1} \).
A hydrocarbon which does not belong to the same homologous series of carbon compounds is
Let $ f(x) = \begin{cases} (1+ax)^{1/x} & , x<0 \\1+b & , x = 0 \\\frac{(x+4)^{1/2} - 2}{(x+c)^{1/3} - 2} & , x>0 \end{cases} $ be continuous at x = 0. Then $ e^a bc $ is equal to
