Assertion (A): It is easier to obtain a metal from its peroxide rather than sulphides, oxides and carbonates. Reason (R): Prior to reduction, the metal sulphides and carbonates must be converted into metal peroxides. (a) Both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) are true, and the reason (R) is the correct explanation of the assertion (A). (b) Both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) are true, but the reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the assertion (A). (c) The assertion (A) is true, but the Reason (R) is false. (d) Both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) are false.

Since, Assertion is correct but reason is not correct because metal sulphides and carbonates must be converted into metal oxides but not into peroxides. Therefore the option C is correct

The assertion is false because metals are not commonly extracted from peroxides; instead, sulphides, oxides, and carbonates are the typical ores. Metal sulphides and carbonates are first converted to oxides, not peroxides, before reduction. Roasting converts sulphides to oxides, and calcination converts...

The assertion is false because metals are not commonly extracted from peroxides; instead, sulphides, oxides, and carbonates are the typical ores. Metal sulphides and carbonates are first converted to oxides, not peroxides, before reduction. Roasting converts sulphides to oxides, and calcination converts carbonates to oxides. These oxides are then reduced using suitable reducing agents like carbon or electrolysis. Hence, the reason is also false, making both the assertion and reason incorrect. read less

Peroxides are less stable due to the O–O bond and decompose easily on heating, making the process of obtaining metals from them easier compared to stable sulphides, oxides, and carbonates.

Assertion is wrong, as not peroxide but it is oxide. It is easier to reduce metals from its oxide than sulphides and carbonates. Reason is also a false statement as it is written peroxide. The reason I have already written in assertion. So, A and R both false. Option D

Assertion is true but the reason is incorrect. (C) option it is easier to extract metals from peroxides than from sulphides, oxides, and carbonates because Peroxides contain loosely bound oxygen atoms (O₂²⁻) that decompose easily, making metal extraction simpler—often just by heating (thermal...

The correct option is (c) – The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Why? Because peroxides are easier to reduce, but no one is out there converting sulphides and carbonates into peroxides first. That’s like saying: "Before eating pizza, you must turn it into a cake." 🍕➡️🎂 Nope,...
