Assertion : Inert gases are monoatomic. ...

Assertion : Inert gases are monoatomic.
Reason : Inert gases have stable configuration.

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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Inert gases have `ns^2 np^6` configuration, so their octet is complete or they have stable configuration. So they don’t have to react with themselves for stability. This is the reason that they are monoatomic.
