Analyzing +4 | -1
Assertion (A): ss-orbital electron will be more tightly bound to the nucleus than pp-orbital electron.
Reason (R): Zeff Z_{\text {eff }} experienced by the electron decreases with increase of azimuthal quantum number (ll).
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both Assertion and Reason are correct; Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. s-orbitals are more tightly bound, and Zeff decreases with increasing l, but the binding energy is more directly related to penetration.
