Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | [SiF6]2– is known whereas [SiCl6]2– is not. |
| Reason (R): | Cl atom causes higher steric hindrance. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| Assertion (A): | Silicones are hydrophobic in nature. |
| Reason (R): | Si–O–Si linkages are moisture sensitive. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Statement I: | Both carbon and silicon atoms belong to group 14. Both CO2 and SiO2 are gases and linear molecules. |
| Statement II: | Being electron deficient due to an incomplete octet of the central atom, both BCl3 and AlCl3 behave as Lewis acids. |
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct. |
| 2. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect. |
| 3. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect. |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct. |
| Assertion (A): | CCl4 is insoluble in water while SiCl4 is soluble in water. |
| Reason (R): | Si in SiCl4 can accommodate the lone pair of electrons in d-orbitals obtained from the oxygen atom of water molecules. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
