Boron has a smaller first ionisation enthalpy than beryllium.
Reason (R) The penetration of 2s electron to the nucleus is more than the 2p electron hence 2p electron is more shielded by the inner core of electrons than th e2s elelctrons.
(a) Assertion and reason both the correct statement but reson is not correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
(c) Assertion and reason both are are corect statement and reason is correct eplanation for assertion.
