Assertion: Shielding effect increases as...

Assertion: Shielding effect increases as we go down the group.
Reason: More is the number of electrons in the penultimate shell, more is shielding.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If the assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
The phenomenon is which the Penulimate Shel `(n-1)` electorns act as screen or shield in between nucles and valence shell electrons thereby reducing the effective nuclear charge is known as shielding effect.
