Assertion and reason

Read exercise and reference answers
Questions
  1. Reason
    It gave no account of why the revolving electron does not fall into the nucleus.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    Rutherford's model could not explain atomic stability.
  2. Reason
    A definite orbit requires exact position and exact velocity at once.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    Bohr's model contradicts the uncertainty principle.
  3. Reason
    Three quantum numbers describe each quantised energy state.
    Verdict
    The assertion is false and the reason is true.
    Assertion
    The quantum numbers must be assumed before solving.
  4. Reason
    Alpha-particle scattering showed the mass is concentrated, not spread.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    Thomson's model was abandoned.
The reason must genuinely explain the assertion. Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Ch 2 Structure of Atom.
