Assertion : For hydrogen like species, energy of an electron in a particular orbit increases with increase in value of .
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 orbit is given by
i.e., .
Electronegativity increases across a period with decrease in size of atoms.
