answer from the following four choices.
(a) Both Reason and Assertion are correct (b) Both Reason and Assertion are wrong
(c) Reason is correct but Assertion is wrong (d) Reason is wrong but Assertion is correct
2
72. Statement: The characteristic spectroscopic feature of the quadruply bonded Re 2 Cl8 is a strong royal
blue colur
Reason: This is due to an absorption band in the visible region due to excitation of an electron from 2 4 2
ground state to 2 4 1*1 excited state
Assertion: This transition is quantum mechanically allowed
73. Statement: For the reaction L n MH L n M H , the important factors are the strength of the M–H bond
and the nature of the ligand, L
Reason: The key here is the stability of the complex ion, L n M
Assertion: Weak -bonding ligands will stabilize L n M and so will disfavour the forward reaction.
74. Statement: D-Glucose and D-mannose give the same phenylosazone. [GATE 2005]
Reason: Osazone formation results in a loss of the stereocentre at C2 but does not affect other
stereocenters.
Assertion: D-Glucose and D-mannose are enantiomers.
(a) Both Reason and Assertion are correct
(b) Both Reason and Assertion are wrong.
(c) Reason is correct but Assertion is wrong.
(d) Reason is wrong but Assertion is correct.
75. Statement: Nucleosides are stable in dilute base but undergo hydrolysis in dilute acid. [GATE 2005]
Reason: Nucleosides have an N-glycosidic linkage.
Assertion: N-Glycosidic linkage behaves like an O-glycosidic linkage which is rapidly hydrolyzed by
aqueous acid but stable in aqueous base.
(a) Both Reason and Assertion are correct
(b) Both Reason and Assertion are wrong.
(c) Reason is correct but Assertion is wrong.
(d) Reason is wrong but Assertion is correct.
76. Statement : For the reaction of NO + O2 2NO2 the rate constant is observed to decrease with tempera-
ture.
Reason : As per the proposed mechanism, the first step is the dimerization of nitric oxide which is exothermic.

(a) Both Reason and Assertion are correct
(b) Both Reason and Assertion are wrong
(c) Reason is correct but Assertion is wrong
(d) Reason is wrong but Assertion is correct.
