Assertion : `N_(2)` is less reactive than `P_(4)`.
Reason : Nitrogen has more electron gain enthalpy than phosphorus.

Options

A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C. A is true but R is false
D. A is false and R is True.

Answer

C

Explanation

Due to high bond dissociation energy of triple bond between the two atoms, nitrogen (N) is less reactive than `P_(4)` and its electron gain enthalpy is less than phosphorus.
