Answers (1)
Group 15 elements have a higher ionization energy and a lower electronegativity than Group 16 elements, making them less likely to lose or gain electrons in chemical reactions. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are less reactive than Group 16 elements. The reactivity of an element depends on various factors, including its electron configuration, atomic radius, and bonding characteristics. Therefore, the Reason provided is not a sufficient explanation for the Assertion. Both Assertion and Reason are correct, but the Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion. Hence option 2 is correct.
Option(1) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, but the Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion. Hence option 1 is incorrect.
Option(3) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, but the Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion. Hence option 3 is incorrect.
Option(4) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, but the Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion. Hence option 4 is incorrect.
