Assertion: F atom has less electron afffinity than Cl atom.
Reason: Additional electrons are repelled more strongly by 3p electrons in Cl atom than by 2p electrons in F atom.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but the reason is false

D

if assertion is false but the reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to small size of F atom added electron is replaced more strongly by 2p electrons than in case of Cl atom.

Assertion: F is more electronegative than Cl . Reason: F has high electron affinity than Cl .

Assertion:- Ethyl chloride is more reactive than vinyl chloride. Reason:- Vinyl is electron repelling group showing +I.

Assertion: Removal of s electrons is relatively difficult than removal of p-electron of same main shell. Reason: s electrons are closer to the nucleus than p electrons of the same shell and hence are more strongly attracted by the nucleus.

Assertion: Boron has a smaller first ionisation enthalpy than beryllium. Reason: The penetration of a 2s electron to the nucleus is more than the 2p electron, hence 2p electorn is more shielded by the inner core of electrons than the 2s electrons.
