Question:

Assertion: According to a preferential discharge theory, that ion will discharge first which requires more energy.

Reason: The potential at which ion gets discharged is known as deposition potential or discharge potential.

Options:

Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.

Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.

Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Correct Answer:

Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Explanation:

According to a preferential discharge theory, that ion will discharge first which requires more energy. 

Discharge potential: The potential at which ion gets discharged is known as deposition potential or discharge potential.

Discharge potential = Electrode potential + Over voltage
