Chapter 27 Assertion-Reason Questions

This document contains 11 multiple choice questions about molecular structures and properties. The questions assess understanding of concepts like the structures of ice, graphite and C60, and how those structures relate to properties like density, electrical conductivity and melting point. Each question is followed by two statements, and students must evaluate whether the statements are true or false, and if the second statement explains the first.
