In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of reason

(R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.


Assertion (A) : Generally, ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right in a period.


Reason (R) : When successive electrons are added to the orbitals in the same principal


quantum level, the shielding effect of inner core of electrons does not increase very much


to compensate for the increased attraction of the electron to the nucleus.


(i) Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement.


(ii) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation of assertion.


(iii) Assertion and reason both are wrong statements.


(iv) Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement.


(ii) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation of assertion.


EXPLANATION


Ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right in a period due to increase in effective nuclear charge along a period.
