Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) (I) \(>\) (II) \(>\) (III)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Primary alcohols are more acidic than secondary alcohols which are more acidic than tertiary alcohols. This is because the strength of alcohol as an acid is dependent on corresponding strength of its conjugate base, alkoxide ion. A more stabilised alkoxide is the weaker…

- Assertion(A): The maximum covalency of Si and Ge is 6 but that of carbon is 4.
Reason (R): Due to the presence of d-orbitals in Si and Ge, both these elements can undergo \(\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^2\) hybridisation and covalency of 6 is possible. Carbon has no d-orbitals in it and hence its covalency is 4.
