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

A

Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

Both assertion is and reason are correct statements, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

Assertion is correct, but reason is wrong statement.

D

Assertion is wrong but reason is correct statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Correct reason. P-P single bond in `P_(4)` molecules is much weaker `(213kJmol^(-1))` than `N-=N` triple bond `(941.2 kJ mol^(-1))` in `N_(2)`
