Given below are two statements : Statement-I : Chlorine can easily combine with oxygen to form oxides; and the product has a tendency to explode. Statement-II : Chemical reactivity of an element can be determined by its reaction with oxygen and halogens. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

1. Statement I is true but Statement-II is false
2. Both the Statements I and II are true
3. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
4. Both the Statements I and II are false

Correct answer: Both the Statements I and II are true

Solution

Both statements are accurate; chlorine does react with oxygen to form various oxides, some of which can be explosive, and the reactivity of elements is indeed often assessed through their interactions with oxygen and halogens.
