Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: In Lassaigne's test, the covalent organic molecules are transformed into ionic compounds.
Statement II: The sodium fusion extract of an organic compound having N and S gives prussian blue colour with  and Na₄[Fe(CN)₆].

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Evaluate Statement I

"In Lassaigne's test, the covalent organic molecules are transformed into ionic compounds."

✅ TRUE — When the organic compound is fused with sodium metal, covalently bonded elements (N, S, halogens) are converted into ionic compounds:

Step 2: Evaluate Statement II

"The sodium fusion extract of an organic compound having N and S gives Prussian blue colour with FeSO₄ and Na₄[Fe(CN)₆]."

❌ FALSE — When both N and S are present simultaneously, the sodium extract c
