Assertion (A) 16th group elements have higher ionisation enthalpy values than 15th group elements in the corresponding periods.
Reason (R) 15th group elements have half-filled stable electronic configurations.
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct put $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
$A$ is correct but $R$ is incorrect.
$A$ is incorrect but $R$ is correct.
Solution
(A) is incorrect but $(\mathrm{R})$ is correct as ionisation enthalpy values of group 15 th is higher than group 16th due to stable half-filled electronic configurations.
