These questions consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While

answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion: Generally, ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right in a period.
Reason: When successive electrons are added to the orbitals in the same principal quantum level, the shielding effect of inner core of electrons does not increase very much to compensate for the increased attraction of the electron to the nucleus.
