Assertion (A): All isotopes of a given element show the same type of chemical behaviour.
Reason (R): The chemical properties of an atom are controlled by the number of electrons in the atom.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- Both A and R are false.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
All isotopes of an element have same number of electrons and same electronic configuration; hence their chemical properties are also same.
