MCQ
Assertion (A): Atom is electrically neutral.
Reason (R): A neutral particle, neutron is present in the nucleus of atom.
  • A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  • Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • C
    A is true but R is false.
  • D
    A is false but R is true

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Atom is electrically neutral because the number of protons (positively charged particle) is equal to the number of electrons (negatively charged particle).
