Assertion (A) 16th group elements have higher ionisation enthalpy values than 15th group elements in the corresponding periods.
Reason (R) 15th group elements have half-filled stable electronic configurations.

  1. A Both \(A\) and \(R\) are correct and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\).
  2. B Both \(A\) and \(R\) are correct put \(R\) is not the correct explanation of \(A\).
  3. C \(A\) is correct but \(R\) is incorrect.
  4. D \(A\) is incorrect but \(R\) is correct.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(A\) is incorrect but \(R\) is correct.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) is incorrect but \((\mathrm{R})\) is correct as ionisation enthalpy values of group 15 th is higher than group 16th due to stable half-filled electronic configurations.
