MCQ
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason $R$ : Assertion A: The first ionisation enthalpy decreases across a period. Reason R: The increasing nuclear charge outweighs the shielding across the period. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
  • A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B
    ) A is true but R is false
  • A is false but R is true
  • D
    Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Answer

Correct option: C.
A is false but R is true
(C)
First ionisation energy increases along the period. Along the period Z increases which outweighs the shielding effect
