Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Assertion (A) : Atoms with completely filled and half filled sub-shells are stable.
Reason (R) : Completely filled and half filled sub-shells have symmetrical distribution of electrons and have maximum exchange energy.
For example, He with completely filled $1 s$ sub-shell and $N$ with half filled $2 p$ sub-shell are stable.
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Hence, the option (A) is the correct answer.
