(b) Elliptical shaped Orbit
(c) Three-dimensional field around nucleus
(d) The region in which there is a maximum probability of finding an electron

Q.9. Assertion (A): Boron has a smaller first ionisation enthalpy than beryllium.
Reason (R): The penetration of a 2s electron to the nucleus is more than the 2p electron hence 2p electron is
more shielded by the inner core of electrons than the 2s electrons.
(i) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
(ii) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
(iii) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
(iv) Assertion and reason both are wrong statements.

(a) Ionic bond (b) Covalent bond
(c) Metallic Bond (d) van der Waals force

Q.12. Assertion (A): Sodium chloride formed by the action of chlorine gas on sodium metal is a stable
compound.
Reason (R): This is because sodium and chloride ions acquire octet in sodium chloride formation.
(i) A and R both are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(ii) A and R both are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(iii) A is true but R is false.
(iv) A and R both are false.
