Reason : Nitrogen has more electron gain enthalpy than phosphorus.

A

Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

Both assertion and reason are correct statements, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

Assertion is correct, but reason is wrong statement.

D

Assertion is wrong but reason is correct statement.

Text Solution
