Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A): The first ionization enthalpy of $3d$ series elements is more than that of group 2 metals
Reason (R): In $3d$ series of elements successive filling of d-orbitals takes place
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. Both $( A )$ and $( R )$ are true and $( R )$ is the correct explanation of $( A )$
• B. (A) is true but (R) is false
• C. (A) is false but (R) is true
• D. Both $( A )$ and $( R )$ are true but $( R )$ is not the correct explanation of $( A )$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(A) is false but (R) is true

Answer 2

From Sc to Mn ionization energy is less than that of Mg.

For 3d series :	Sc	Ti	V	Cr	Mn
IE (KJ/mol)	631	656	650	653	717
Fe	Co	Ni	Cu	Zn
IE (KJ/mol)	762	758	736	745	906

For 2nd Group

| Be| Mg| Ca| Sr| Ba| Ra
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
IE (KJ/mol)| 631| 656| 650| 653| 717| 762
So , the correct option is (C) : (A) is false but (R) is true
