NEET Chemistry Periodic Trends Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): As we move across a period in the periodic table, the non-metallic character of elements increases.
Reason (R): Electronegativity decreases across a period in the periodic table.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as non-metallic character increases across a period. However, the reason is false because electronegativity actually increases across a period, not decreases.
