Question
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:

Answer

c
