NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): Group 18 elements have very high ionisation enthalpies. | Reason (R): Group 18 elements have fully filled valence shells, making them chemically inert.

A

Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) explains (A).

B

Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) does not explain (A).

C

(A) is true, but (R) is false.

D

(A) is false, but (R) is true.
