Choose the correct option regarding: Assertion Energy of the orbital decreases with increase of ' (n ) '. Reason Energy is required in shifting away the negatively charged electron from positively charged nucleus
Options
- AAssertion and Reasoning are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
- BAssertion and Reasoning are correct statements and Reason is not the explanation for Assertion
- CAssertion is correct, Reason is wrong
- DAssertion is wrong, Reason is correct
Correct answer
D. Assertion is wrong, Reason is correct
Step-by-step solution
As we move away from the nucleus, in atom the potential energy of electron increases, as the distance for nucleus increases, the value of (n ) increases. Consequently the kinetic energy of the electron decreases, but total energy as a whole increases. Thus, the Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct. Hence, the correct option is (d).
