MCQ
For two statements are given $-$ one labelled Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled Reason $(R).$ Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $\ce{(a), (b), (c)}$ and $(d)$ as given below :
Assertion : Number of valence electrons decreases down the group.
Reason : Number of valence electrons increases when we move left to right in a period.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.

Answer

Correct option: D.
$A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
