Assertion (A) : A spectral line will be seen for `2p_(x)`-`2p_(y)` transition
Reason (R ) : Energy is raleased in the form of wave of light when the electron drops from `2p_(x)` , to `2p_(y)` orbital.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If the assertion and reason both are false.

Answer

D

Explanation

Both assertion and reason are false. `2p_(x)and2p_(y)` orbitals are degenerate orbitals, i.e., they are of equal energy and hence no possibility of transition of electron.
