Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Energy of
Reason R: Energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decrease with increase in the atomic number.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- B Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
- C A is true but R is false.
- D A is false but R is true.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
As the atomic number increases then the potential energy of electrons present in same shell becomes more and more negative. And therefore total energy also becomes more negative.
Energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decreases with increase in atomic number.
Energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decreases with increase in atomic number.
