AIIMS 2019 Chemistry Hydrogen Peroxide MCQ Question
Assertion: Hydrogen peroxide forms two series of salts called peroxides and hydroperoxides. Reason: Hydrogen peroxide molecule has two replaceable hydrogen atoms.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option A is correct because both the assertion and reason are true: hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) indeed forms two series of salts, known as peroxides (e.g., Na₂O₂) and hydroperoxides (e.g., NaHO₂), due to its two replaceable hydrogen atoms. The reason accurately explains the assertion, as the presence of these two hydrogen atoms allows for the formation of these distinct types of salts.
Option B is incorrect because the reason does provide a correct explanation for the assertion. Option C is wrong since both the assertion and reason are true, not just the assertion. Option D is incorrect as both statements are factual.
