Chemistry
Assertion (A): Noble gases do not combine with other elements.
Reason (R): The outermost orbit of noble gases are complete, they have a stable electronic configuration.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation — Noble Gases or Inert gases are Group 18 elements. They do not react with other elements because they have complete 8 electrons in their outermost orbits (except He, which has only 2), which is stable electronic configuration. Hence both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
