Assertion: Electron affinity refers to an isolated atom’s attraction for an additional electron while electronegativity is the ability of an atom of an element to attract electrons towards itself in a shared pair of electrons.
Reason: Electron affinity is a relative number and electronegativity is experimentally measurable.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(c) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Explanation:
Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Electron affinity is experimentally measurable while electronegativity is a relative number.
