| Assertion (A): | Ionization enthalpy increases along each series of transition elements from left to right. However, small variations occur. |
| Reason (R): | There is a corresponding increase in nuclear charge which accompanies the filling of electrons in the inner d-orbitals. |
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 2. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
