Assertion (A): All isotopes of a given element show the same type of chemical behaviour. Reason (R): The chemical properties of an atom are controlled by the number of electrons in the atom.
Assertion (A): All isotopes of a given element show the same type of chemical behaviour. Reason (R): The chemical properties of an atom are controlled by the number of electrons in the atom.

(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(iii) A is true but R is false.

(iv) Both A and R are false.

 

Correct Answer: (i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation: Isotopes have identical number of electrons with identical chemical properties.
