The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason carefully. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "Ionisation enthalpy of noble gases is zero." - Ionization enthalpy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in the gaseous state. For noble gases, this value is not zero; rather, it is very high due to their stable electron configuration. Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Noble gases have fully filled valence shell." - Noble gases indeed have fully filled valence shells, which contributes to their stability and high ionization enthalpy. This statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is incorrect (it claims ionization enthalpy is zero, which is false). - The reason is correct (noble gases have fully filled valence shells). Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is incorrect but the reason is correct. ### Final Answer The answer is **Option D**: Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct. ---
