Question

Nitrogen and Oxygen are the main components in the atmosphere but these do not react to form oxides of nitrogen. The reaction between nitrogen and oxygen requires high temperature.

• A. Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion
• B. Both assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion
• C. The assertion is incorrect, but the reason is correct
• D. Both the assertion and reason are incorrect

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion

Answer 2

Nitrogen and oxygen are the main components in the atmosphere but these do not react to form oxides of nitrogen.
This is because the reaction between nitrogen and oxygen requires high temperature to overcome the activation energy barrier.
Thus, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
