NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): The atomic and ionic radii of Group 16 elements increase from top to bottom in the group. | Reason (R): Group 16 elements have six electrons in their outermost shell with a general electronic configuration of ns2 np4.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The increase in atomic and ionic radii from top to bottom in Group 16 is due to the addition of shells, not the electronic configuration. Thus, R does not explain A.
