AIIMS2016ChemistryStructure of Atom
Assertion : For hydrogen like species, energy of an electron in a particular orbit increases with increase in value of Z . Reason : Electronegativity decreases across a period.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
For hydrogen like species, energy of an electron in n^ th orbit is given by E_n=- 2 ^2 m Z^2 e^4 k^2 n^2 h^2 i.e., E_n Z^2 . Electronegativity increases across a period with decrease in size of atoms.
