NEET 2026EasyIdeal solutions and intermolecular interactions- Option A: Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
- Option B: Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- Option C: A is correct but R is not correct
- Option D: A is not correct but R is correct
Show answer & explanationHide answer & explanation
Correct answer: (C) A is correct but R is not correct
Explanation
Assertion A is correct. An ideal solution obeys Raoult's law over the whole composition range, and for it and : no heat is absorbed or released on mixing, and the volume of the solution equals the sum of the volumes of the components. Reason R is wrong. P and Q do interact. In an ideal solution, the P–Q interactions are nearly equal to the P–P and Q–Q interactions. So mixing does not change the total energy or volume. So the answer is option (C).
