Question:

Match List I with List II:

List I List II
i. Ions having positive charge a. -1
ii. The sum of oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral molecule b. +1
iii. Oxidation number of hydrogen ion \((H^+)\) c. 0
iv. Oxidation number of fluorine in \(NaF\) d. Cation
v. Ions having negative charge e. Anion

Choose the correct answer from the option given below:

Options:

i-a, ii-b, iii-c, iv-d, v-e

i-e, ii-d, iii-c, iv-b, v-a

i-d, ii-c, iii-b, iv-a, v-e

i-b, ii-e, iii-a, iv-c, v-d

Correct Answer:

i-d, ii-c, iii-b, iv-a, v-e

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3. i-d, ii-c, iii-b, iv-a, v-e.

Let us match each item in List I with the appropriate item from List II based on the given descriptions.

i. Ions having positive charge: These are called cations. Correct match: d (Cation)

ii. The sum of oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral molecule: The sum of oxidation numbers in a neutral molecule is zero. Correct match: c (0)

iii. Oxidation number of hydrogen ion (\(H^+\)): The oxidation number of a hydrogen ion (\(H^+\)) is +1. Correct match: b (+1)

iv. Oxidation number of fluorine in \(NaF\): The oxidation number of fluorine in compounds is always -1. Correct match: a (-1)

v. Ions having negative charge: These are called anions. Correct match: e (Anion)

Summary of matches:

i. Ions having positive charge → d. Cation

ii. The sum of oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral molecule → c. 0

iii. Oxidation number of hydrogen ion (\(H^+\)) → b. +1

iv. Oxidation number of fluorine in \(NaF\) → a. -1

v. Ions having negative charge → e. Anion

The correct answer is: Option 3: i-d, ii-c, iii-b, iv-a, v-e.
