NEET Chemistry Periodic Trends Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The increase in electronegativity across a period results in a decrease in metallic properties. Reason (R): Electronegativity is inversely related to the metallic properties of elements.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context states that the increase in electronegativity across a period is associated with a decrease in metallic properties, and this is due to the inverse relationship between electronegativity and metallic properties.
