1.	In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question. Assertion (A) : A liquid crystallizes into a solid and is accompanied by decrease in entropy. Reason (R) : In crystals, molecules organise in an ordered manner.
Answer» Both A and R are TRUE and R is the correct explanation of A. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. A is true but R is FALSE. A is false but R is true. Solution :Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. When a liquid crystallises, entropy decreases because in CRYSTALLINE form the MOLECULES are more ORDERED as compared to the liquid.
