Assertion : The 5th period of periodic table contains 18 elements not 32 .
Reason : n = 5, l = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 . The order in which the energy of available orbitals 4d, 5s and 5p increases is 5s < 4d < 5p and the total number of orbitals available are 9 and thus 18 electrons can be accomodated.
  1. If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. If assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer

(D) If assertion is false but reason is true.
