Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Metallic character decreases and non-metallic character increases on moving from left to right in a period.
Reason (R) : It is due to increase in ionization enthalpy and decrease in electron gain enthalpy, when one moves from left to right in a period.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Assertion (A) is correct & Reason (R) is incorrect
→character decreases from left to right & non metallic character increases from left to night
→I.E. increases & electron gain enthalpy also increases from left to right.
