Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A is not correct but R is correct
  2. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
  3. Both A and R are correct and R is NOT the correct explanation of A
  4. A is correct but R is not correct.

Answer

(2) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Solution

Transition metals have high melting points because of strong metallic bonds formed by the participation of (n-1)d electrons (here 3d) in addition to the outer ns electrons (here 4s). Both statements are correct, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. Answer: (2)
