Assertion (A) : `EA` of `O` is less than that of `F` but greater than that of `N`.
Reason (R ): `IE` is as follows: `N gt O gt F`.

A

If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

D

If both assertion and reason are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Correct reason : Since the atomic sizes decrease from N to F, the electron gain enthalpies of the elements tend to increase.

Assertion: magnitude of electron gain enthalpy of oxygen is less than that of fluorine but greater than that of nitrogen. Reason: Ionisation enthalpy order is as follows: N gt O lt E .

Given below are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R) Assertion (A): Electron gain enthalpy of oxygen is less than that of Flourine but greater than Nitrogen. Reason (R): Ionisation enthalpies of the elements follow the order Nitrogen gt Oxygen gt Fluorine Select the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Assertion (A) : The first IE of Be is greater than that of B Reason (R ) : 2p orbitals is lower in energy than 2s

The IE_(1) of Be is greater than that of B. [T/F]

Assertion(A) : IE_(2) of C is greater than that of B . Reason (R ): Due to penetration effect.

Assertion (A): The second ionisation energy of 'O' is greater than that of 'N' Assertion (R): The half flled p-orbitals cause greater stability.

Assertion (A) : The ionisation energy of N is more than that of O Reason (R ) : Electronic configuration of N is more stable due to half - fillied 2p orbitals

Why is the electron gain enthalpy of O or F less than that of S or Cl?
