Question

Assertion (A) :F atom has less electron than `CI^(Theta)` atom
Reason (R ) : Additional electrons are repelled more effectively by `3p` electron in `CI` atom than by` 2p` electron in F atom
A. If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
C. If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
D. If both assertion and reason are incorrect.
