$X + \frac{1}{2}{O_2}\,\, \to \,\,XO + 90.8\,kJ$
It follows that the heat of reaction for the following process $M + XO$ $\rightleftharpoons$ $MO + X$ is given by......$kJ$
Assertion $(A) :$ Metallic character decreases and non-metallic character increases on moving from left to right in a period.
Reason $(R)$ $:$ It is due to increase in ionisation enthalpy and decrease in electron gain enthalpy, when one moves from left to right in a period.
