Assertion: Zn, Cd and Hg are normally not considered transition metals.

Reason: d-orbitals in above elements are completely filled, hence above metals do not show the general charcterstic properties of the transition elements.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

When iron becomes passive by "X", it is due to the formation of "Y". X and Y, respectively, are:

1. Dil. HCl, Fe2O3

2. 80% Conc. HNO3, Fe3O4

3. Conc. H2SO4, Fe3O4

4. Conc. HCl, Fe3O4

When KMnO4 solution is added to hot oxalic acid solution, the decolorization is slow in the beginning but becomes instantaneous after some time. This is because : 

1. Mn2+ acts as auto catalyst.

2. CO2 is formed.

3. Reaction is exothermic.

4. MnO4- catalyses the reaction.
