Assertion: Nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus.
Reason: Nitrogen has a smaller atomic radius than phosphorus.
Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
The assertion is false, but the reason is true.
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. Nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus because it has a smaller atomic radius, which allows it to hold its electrons closer to the nucleus, resulting in a stronger attraction for electrons in a chemical bond. This is the Reason why the Assertion is correct. Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and the Reason is the correct explanation for the Assertion. Hence option 1 is correct.
Option(2) Both assertion and reason are true and the reason explains assertion correctly. Hence option 2 is incorrect.
Option(3) Both assertion and reason are true. Hence option 3 is incorrect.
Option(4) Both assertion and reason are true. Hence option 4 is incorrect.
