Question

Assertion: Liquid can flow easily.

Reason: The molecules in liquids are tightly packed.

Mark the correct choice:

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B. Both A and R are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.
• C. A is correct but R is incorrect.
• D. A is incorrect but R is correct.
• E. Both A and R are incorrect.

Answer 1

A is correct but R is incorrect.

The explanation for the Assertion statement:

The intermolecular forces are weak because particles of a liquid are loosely packed, and the molecules can slip over one another.

The explanation for the Reason statement:

The particles of a liquid are loosely packed. They have intermolecular spaces between the particles.

Hence, the correct option is the C.
