Question

Given below are two statements : 

one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R) 

Assertion (A) : The first ionization enthalpy of 3d series elements is more than that of group 2 metals 

Reason (R) : In 3d series of elements successive filling of d-orbitals takes place.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below : 

(1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) 

(2) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) 

(3) (A) is false but (R) is true 

(4) (A) is true but (R) is false

Answer 1

(3) (A) is false but (R) is true 

From Sc to Mn ionization energy is less than that of Mg.
