NEET Chemistry Orbitals Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The absorption spectrum involves transitions where the final orbit number is greater than the initial orbit number. | Reason (R): In absorption, the energy term in the parenthesis of the energy equation is negative.
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 assertion is true as absorption involves transitions from lower to higher orbits (n_f > n_i). However, the reason is incorrect because in absorption, the energy term is positive as energy is absorbed.
