To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided, and determine their correctness and relationship. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that \( N_2 \) (nitrogen gas) is less reactive than \( P_4 \) (phosphorus). - **Explanation**: Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule \( N_2 \) which has a strong triple bond (N≡N). This triple bond has a high bond dissociation energy, making it difficult to break. As a result, nitrogen is less reactive compared to phosphorus, which exists as \( P_4 \) and has weaker bonds. **Conclusion**: The assertion is **correct**. ...
