Assertion (A)
The first ionisation energy of Be is greater than that of \(\mathrm{B}\).
Reason (R) \(2 p\) orbital has lower energy than \(2 s\) orbital.

  1. A Both \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\) are true and \(\mathrm{R}\) is a correct explanation for \(\mathrm{A}\).
  2. B Both \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\) are true but \(\mathrm{R}\) is not a correct explanation for \(\mathrm{A}\).
  3. C \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false.
  4. D \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The first IE of Be is greater than that of B because Be has stable complete electronic configuration \(\left(1 s^2 2 s^2\right)\), which require more energy to remove the first electron from its valence shell, whereas, B has electronic configuration \(1 s^2 2 s^2 3 s^1\) which…
