NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
Assertion : Mo has the ground state electronic configuration 4 d^5 5 s^1 . Reason : Mo has the highest exchange energy among the second row transition elements. The correct option among the following is
Options
- A(A) is true, (R) is true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A)
- B(A) is true, (R) is true but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A)

- D(A) is false but (R) is true
Correct answer
A. (A) is true, (R) is true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A)
Step-by-step solution
Mo has the highest exchange energy as it gains the half-filled d-orbital configuration.
